Jamie - Apex Motorsports is near you, if you are still living where you were=
 when Cathy & I were in NC/TCOC.  They maintain a number of cars for VDCA me=
mbers and may be good to talk with them in addition to the Info Chuck sent b=
elow!

Hope to make it to The Gathering this year!

Best, Terry=20
