It's always great to meet forum members in person. Sorry I never made it back to the stands. My son and his buddy wanted to leave about 7 or 7:30 and we caught the ending bids on TV at home.

Rich,
Thank you for the thread, I was checking on the pics in Orlando, and then got shanghaied for another work trip to DEN yesterday and today headed for Canada...well I actually get overtime for days off work so the unexpected funding will push the 68 through...
Any chance you guys have heard or are considering the Dr. George car show...Its awesome, about 500 cars or so.
