Hey Keith -

You gettin' big royalty $ from Pass Time? I saw your pass once again on another rerun last night. Awesome no matter how times I watch it.

You almost got a call me from about buying the car but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to readily find a buyer for mine.

Boy it would be nice to get paid for pass time but i cant even get Rich to e-mail me back about getting a race for pink slips. Just step up to the plate Mark make an offer,gold jewlery,cars,bikes,you never know what might make it happen.Going to Bradenton Thursday night to re-test the C-4 after Virgina and breaking 2-nd gear in the trans,all fixed now. Never got to let it all hang out at nationals.Call me.

Good luck at Bradenton tonite. Share the results when you get a chance. I will be in West Palm in early Nov. Maybe I can get around and watch you run.

Let's see what do I have to trade: 1 eight second 1970 vette (I know, Oliver can buy it ), 1 1979 matching numbers L82 4sp Vette - 52k miles, 1 lazy hound dog, a go cart and some cash. That might do it.
