I think someone said there were 70+ cars there on Sunday? Probably only half that on Saturday.

Brian was moving a 400th tranny over to Pete's trailer (tailshaft on shoulder, hands around lip of bellhousing, tranny pointed vertically) and as he stepped into the trailer he slipped (been raining) and fell. Took a finger or two off and screwed up a couple more on each hand...a VERY bad deal.

Actually he is doing surprisingly well. He is sewn up, and has some pins in, as they managed to get everything back were it belongs. They expect pretty much a full recovery, but we'll see.
