Hey Chuck,
Do you remember seeing the "piglet" that use to race at Summit Point in the
fall? If I remember right it was maybe green in color and was a rare coupe?
I remember that Honda could keep uo with most anything on the track!
Are you going to be at Mid-Ohio this coming weekend? I just wanted to say
hey when I was up there.
