I agree with you completely Mark. One of the better races I have been to lately. Gary

See post 46. Ralph told Ken that the only problem was broken headlights.

When he checks close he will find more. When I went on the almost identical ride, cracked trans case, alt, rad support, motor mounts, etc. Racing these cars without wheelie bars is not a good idea!

I agree it was a great weekend of racing. There was no shortage of racers, in fact the place was packed. We had a lot of fun as usual and there were lot of old timers at the race checking things out. The D-1 crew was working hard and the track personel was welcoming. Diamond RV was a great sponsor and the luxury book was an oasas from the elements. I had a great 1st round race with Jim Boudreau and then was tatooed in the 3rd round by Jason Silver. I am looking forward to the next D-1 race.

That's a possibility. We got lucky, the orange car only bent the headers a little, killed an O2 sensor, dented the pan, and killed the shocks. Anthony wasn't as lucky at Memphis, I had to swap cases on his transmission, and Rod Nut swapped oil pans and oil pumps, he worked pretty hard to get Anthony to Milan the next weekend.
