[big gear head]

I was feeling pretty down Thursday night when I got to the BBQ late due to a wreck on the parkway and missed out on the food, and then on Friday when I was standing in the trailer watching the rain fall, but my mood changed to the other extreme on Friday night when my name was drawn for the gift certificates and the crate engine. A big thanks goes to Bob McClurg for the work that he did rounding up the engine and other prizes, and Doug and all of the others (sorry, I'm still trying to learn names) that worked hard to put the whole event on. Maybe I can sort out the problems with my car and make some good runs next year.
