To do that well against the local crowd in Chitown is no less than remarkably good driving.

Thanks Larry,
It was the same car that I ran in Can Am on the Flat track at the Sano II. And you are right, I actually had all of my cars built before the race. (hard to believe) I am enjoying the race so much more this time because I have time to socialize a bit with all of the great racers from around the country. See you at the R-4 3
Cheers, Ken

Dave and Howie,
Congratulations on your finishes. You guys are the best, and we hope to see you Dudes at the Checkpoint Cup. It was only 85 degrees here today at BPR, so enjoy the weather where you are ?

Greg is taking, as I am, a lot of flak here and there, but he is doing a damn good job or reporting the nitty and the gritty. 
Wait. Is that how one spells "nitty"?

Ralph and Jay did fantastic on the flat track. They were driving it like it was their home track. Everybody in the Main drove a great race it was fun watching the race even though I only saw a little part of the track.
