Naturally since the CRC weekend is over we're having crystal blue  
skies with a few high clouds and cool air that would be idea for  
making ponies.  I always consider September to be the Northwest's  
summer, but it fooled us this year. Still, a fine time, so great to  
see all of you. Special thanks to the large contingent of California  
Triumph races. It was nice to put some faces to all those email  
addresses.  Alan, sorry about your car, and thanks for the meatball  
sub. That one wall has collected a lot of paint over the years. You're  
in good company, I saw Michael Andretti turn a car back into a kit of  
parts in exactly the same spot once.

I didn't get many pictures--too busy banging aluminum flat and whining  
about the weather. I'd like to get all I can to populate the CRC  
website. If you have any to share I'd greatly appreciate it. Either  
email them to me or send me a link to an online gallery and I can  
swipe them from wherever they stand.

Sure was great to see Mordy get the Kastner cup. He surprised the heck  
out of me running up on Peyote like that. I had to work my tail off to  
stay in front of him. Great car and a great drive.

Another special thanks to our midwest contingent. I didn't get to  
spend much time with Tony Drews, and Monday, when it was all over I  
was walking over to chat and saw his van and trailer headed out the  
gate!  Safe drive, Tony. Hope you had a good time and thanks for  
making that long haul. Joe Alexander  kind of quietly slipped away  
too--I wasn't the only one looking to say 'bye. I had a bunch of  
people come to my paddock looking for him.

I think I got to chat with most folks, though as usual, I was  
distracted by a lot of stuff, and as the poster boy for ADD,  
distracting me is easy. What was I saying...oh, look, a butterfly.  
Anyway, fun racing with all of you.

Bill
