Count me in. uncle jack at vinttr4@geneseo.net. We raced at Hallet once and
it was a hoot. We plan to go back this Fall if everything is still
together. I want to give Tony a chance to beat me there. Great track --
something akin to Blackhawk and Grattan but really more challenging than
Blackhawk. CVAR is a great organization to race with, too.
