First and foremost "CONGRATULATIONS" to Jim and Valerie McCombs for her "SHOOTOUT WIN." A much deserved Win. What a great gathering of people and cars!!! My son Blake and I had a great time. I want to thank Ray Whitney for his help on several issues with the car and tutoring my son on many things that I didn't know. Thanks to Paul Galvin for helping out with an MSD issue. He lent us and tutored Blake on the use of an MSD ign. tester, which I purchased my own yesterday from Summit. Special thanks to the lovely ladies who served up a great meal Friday. "Oh! and thanks to you to Ricky". Thank you Gordie, "GCAMINO" for giving me a roll of his finest toilet tissue. Came all the way from Texas with half a roll. It was so cool to see four beautifully restored Z11 cars. I leaned in to look at Pats car and it was 1963 again for me. Same color combo as Dads car and yes it did bring a tear to my eyes. Before Dad passed he would tell me he had dream that he had found the 63. I have that dream sometimes. The racing was great. I always enjoy racing Dave Mills. He brings out the best in me when we line up. I would like to have seen Gary Jesperson's hard running car run in the shootout. I had a great seat to watch Paul Galvin's dragster run a 8.70 at 156 in the next lane in time trials. I got to see a lot of friends, made some new ones and missed seeing some people I didn't know was there. I will be back in a door car for the next year for sure. And lastly Thanks to BRYAN FUGATE for putting on a great show. You've got a lot more patience than I with track management. Till next year!!!!!!! "RUSSELL & TAYLOR"
