[Fot] Toast to Jack at Road America this weekend

[JHOUATHOME at aol.com]

Hi everyone,
 
I know that there where many of you who took a moment to raise a glass to  
Uncle Jack at the Glen last week.  I wish I could have been there, but alas  
it's just too far from Minneapolis for me this year.  I am assuming that  there 
are a number of you who could not be at the Glen, but WILL be at Road  America 
this weekend for Fall Festival.  For those who will be there I  invite you to 
stop by my paddock on Friday at 5:30 P.M. for a toast, a cigar,  and to share 
a few more good words about Uncle Jack.  I'll provide the  Single Malt, decent 
cigars, and Gin for the non-scotch drinkers in the crowd (we  do after all 
race English cars).  I also had a 3X5 foot banner made-up  that I would like to 
have people sign, and we will give to Tony for  garage-art at the end of the 
weekend.  
 
You can find me parked with the "British Race Group" (please forgive the  
presence of the MG's) in the grass competition paddock across from the t-shirt  
shop, near the gas pumps.  Look for the white #711 Ginetta G15.  ( I  know, I 
know, no Triumph again this week.  The Kellison/TR4 is nearing  completion!)
 
Hope to see many of you there.  Please feel free to bring anyone who  knew 
Jack.  Or anyone who wants a free drink, and is willing to SAY that  they knew 
Jack.  We'll pour until the Scotch runs out.  The trackside  dinner starts 
around 6:00, so we'll start on time at 5:30.
 
Hope to see you all there,
John Houlton
 
P.S.  I also conduct the track-side devotional time Sunday morning  under the 
VSCDA tent, and will be offering thanks and remembrance for Jack  during that 
time.  No cocktails in church, however.  Bill Dentinger  won't allow it.  
He's funny that way.
