Hey Doug
You did good buddy, I enjoyed all of the runs but the modified roadsters are in
my heart. My first 200 mph run was in one. With your records and Doug Odem,
Katie's and the So.Al. Turk all having so much fun I'm not sure if we can handle
a party at the roads end.

Oops, almost for got Dincau & logan with their runs, lots of nice looking
hardware.
Yeah Russ' you missed a great meet in spite of the dust. It's a racers meet but
not much for the spectator when the wind blows. By the way Koury looked real 
good
in his new liner. Can hardly wait for Marlo to finish his. There should be lots
on the chat line tonight so I'm outta here.
Great show everyone.
Glen in the best seat in the house.
