time I've had a need for a part.

Mike et al:

At SpeedWeek '07 Mike Crawford, the owner/manager of Carquest of  
Wendover, visited the event for the first time.  He stopped by at  
Salt Talks, he (and some of his buddies) moseyed around the pits, and  
I saw them at the start line, too.  He's teased Nancy and me for a  
couple of years that we should have invited him to Salt Talks -- so  
last year I called him in March to make sure he'd put it on his  
calendar.  By the time SpeedWeek rolled around he not only told us  
he'd be at the event -- he donated some stuff for the raffle at Salt  
Talks.

He builds and plays with Corvettes -- stop by the store and ask him  
(he's easy to find -- about 6'6" tall) to show you his cars.

Yup, he's supporting us by being there -- open 7 days a week during  
SpeedWeek, and long hours, too -- and he's now coming out to the  
races.  Don't avoid his store -- he is being a welcoming business in  
Wendover.
