Got the call in hi. Jumped on the plane and got back to see him 1/2 hour before he passed.

Thanks for your wishes. See you in Feb.

Thanks guys for all the comforting words. Real happy to have you guys as my track buddies. Sorry but I have been away for a while taking care of things and making sure my mom is fine.

Found out the car is now in HNL port and I will be there next week.

Yes, family first....we'll be here.

Got to find some good places that will let that car stretch its legs now that it is back with you.

FWIW - Couple of more mods went into Smokey today...Scan Gage (new mounting arrangement, if anyone wants to see, let me know) and a front strut tower cross brace (JCW vintage)...and, yes, I actually think it helps to cut down on front end shakes.

Ehh, I actually missed a lot cuz we were just hanging around in the pits and whatnot. They only had one jumbo screen for the infiled pukes and it was located out by the turn where the cars rejoin the track after the infield section. I have the first 8 hours taped on the hard drive but for some reason the last 6/7 did not tape.

Waiting to hear from everybody before making reservations. Are you interested in the Nitto's that are on your 'new' wheels, or should I have them dismounted?
