Al, You work very quickly! It was great to see you, Jeff, and Phil at VIR today. I haven't ever gotten to take my son, Clay, to such an event, so it was a special day for me. He really enjoyed it, I think to his surprise. I gave him the grand tour of the track, the pits (fortunately meeting several racers I knew so that made it more interesting for Clay to get to talk to them and listen to their stories.) The 427 made the trip without a hitch. Bill Fraley hasn't returned with the 289 as of this posting, so I think he made be headed for the Mexican border! (Just kidding!).
Lots of wonderful cars at the track and show. We had a caravan of a 1936 Ford Woody (which won Best of Show), a 289 Cobra, a 427 Cobra, and a 1967 Shelby GT500. We got lots of interesting looks on the way to the track. he one lap around the VIR track was very neat, although not at the speed I would have preferred, due to the number of cars on the track, but it was still fun.
