Damn... previous commitment, plus my shop car still isn't ready or I'd be there too. My S/ST Wally would love to have a companion on the shelf. I'll have to hope Greg (Legion21) has a good showing for me.

I'm shooting for June to have one ready though...

We will miss you!!! I'd have to say the S/ST was harder to win than this one will be!

THAT's no lie! I figure that S/ST Wally probably cost me about $40K or so (that's just in racing expenses!)... Nothing like the feeling of winning one, though.

Good luck to you guys this Saturday!

Who else is coming? MarK? Fuzzy? Mike? Gary? Robin?

Two Wallys would look good on the Mantle

I thought about coming to watch but felt like my head and neck were in a vise with someone torquing it down.
Congrats Tracy!
