Jim ... what is all that wetstuff in picture 75???? Judging from the 373 phone prefix on the "Bucanneer" truck you were coming through Fredericksburg area. Looks like Route 1. Just think ... without Jack's influence and awesome 'no rain' dance WE could have had that mess here!

Jim,

Those are some really good pics! You all certainly got around and it looks like you managed to get just about everyone of the vettes in there. You even managed to get the big gray ones with a LOT of HP!

I have to agree with everyone else, it was really great seeing your car up close and getting to park next to it along with Gary's was an honor.

Ron

Hey Ron, you deserved the "honor" for your years of faithfull service to the Ratpack!

I was also kind of hoping it would get Donna off my A**

Thanks Jack. I had to get on Donna about letting you off the hook on Saturday. Of course I noticed you didn't stay around in our area very long once you saw that she showed up. I am still trying to talk her into going to skyline. If that happens we will probably drive up the day before and meet up with you when you get up there.

If I drive respectfully my mileage readout is about 23.9 - 24.0 ..... but if I stand on her occasionally it tends to remain down in the low 23s. But then ... isn't that why we have 'em????

Ok Tom you can stop rubbing it in. If I drive respectfully I might get 15 - 16. Now if I drive to keep up with the rest of the Ratpack then I am looking at 10.
