Good one Bob.  Speaking for the Missouri crowd we sure enjoyed our  time 
together and you are absolutely correct in your statements about Bob  Kramer.  
He is always a gentleman and if he doesn't have it he probably  knows where 
to get it.  Your experience at drivers school was not too much  unlike my 
own.  I did the school in February and while that makes for a  little more 
comfort while wearing all the racing duds it also means the oil is  heavy to 
pump in a cold race engine.  We started out Friday with a little  leak which 
we couldn't identify initially.  It continue to grow but not at  an alarming 
pace.  That is until Saturday morning when it was really  cold.  We started 
the car and oil literally poured out of it on the  floor.  I had a busted 
oil cooler AND I had  a mandatory drivers meeting.  You know all about those 
by now!   Anyway, while I was  fretting and worrying Bob and Walt sent me 
off to my meeting and by the time I  got out they had found a new cooler and 
had it installed.  I never missed a  lap!!  That is what a good part of 
Vintage Racing is all about for  me.  I love to race the cars and enjoy learn how 
to do it better but I  really love meeting new friends and the camaraderie 
that comes with Vintage  Racing and especially in the FoT crowd.  I hope to 
make it back down to TWS  in November and already have Hallett on the agenda 
for October.
 
Just keep the shiny side up and welcome to the family!  
 
Cheers,
