Awesome Stuart, but I wouldn't expect any less. Congrats on the 1st at the Eckler's show. I'm afraid they are just going to start mailing the trophy to you.

No, I think it was the super clean wheels that did the job!!

The pics don't do justice to the steering wheel cover - it looked fantastic in person!! Really superior design and craftsmanship!
