Hi All:

Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming supply of hospitality, good advice, and safe fun racing!  I found a temporary upright on Monday, and the car is back on 4 wheels.  I'd like to try to shake this thing down at a few more events this season, before diving into it's innards in the off season.  Hope to see you all down the road!!
