Thanks, everyone.

LOL! The razor blade was applied to the windshield today.

Congrats on jumping in as well, Mikah!

Congrats on the car! How do you like the trailer? Do you think it'll be big enough? Did you buy new? Curious if it was pricey? I really want to pick up an enclosed trailer rather than go buy an open again...

I think I will be pleased with it...time will tell. Should be plenty big as the car is only 15' long. I also have a tonneau on the p/u tow vehicle for any extra storage. New. It was $6,500 plus fees.

David Pintaric knows that car well.

Did you by chance score any of McGinley's awesome onboard footage from the last couple of Runoffs?

I think you are thinking of Al Longtin and his blue #97 at turn six at the 2007 Run-offs....
