Thank you Jake for being such a great sport and
letting me have a shot at the second place trophy.
This is the second time he let me drive his car when
mine needed work. Hopefully when my second front wheel
bearing is replace I won't have worry about it for
another few years.

It sure would have been nice to have four runs on
Sunday. :)

You don't need to worry about the torque wrench. My
parents taught me to take good care of tools. This
means not banging my wrenches against hard objects
like rocks, concrete or your head. You might want to
be careful if I'm rolling fenders with one of the
tools described by Navid or Kirk.
Seriously though, This was an amazingly fun year. My
thanks to Jake and Stan for being great competitors
and friends.
