I got a nice surprise today, a trophy plaque (the middle one) from the =
Kastner Cup race for "sportsmanship during competition", undoubtedly for =
giving back the position I gained in the second Triumph race with some =
chicane chicanery (I cut the chicane on the first lap to avoid a crash) =
at the end of the race. I appreciate the sentiment, it's a fine way to =
finish my long run with Peyote, my faithful and amazing race car for 22 =
great years. Thanks folks.=20

I=E2=80=99ve started working on the Ambro 001 I bought from Doug Karon. =
I think it will take me about a year to build it the way I want. I=E2=80=99=
ll probably race it a few times and then sell it to someone who will =
drive the wheels off it, as Will Hart, the young racer I sold Peyote to =
has been doing with Peyote. I think a few more races and he=E2=80=99ll =
be beating my best times at our West Coast tracks.=20
