Excuse me, Tommy... I won, too. I know it was just the FK class so it doesn't count as a real win.

Yep, I agree. Won't miss the next one of these.

Spent most of the day Saturday installing a high quality air filtration system at Eddy Simpson's House. He had a lot of questions about this Retro thing.

The original post said you'd be posting photos.  I haven't seen them yet. Are they posted on another thread?

Tommy, I made sure it was tough for Brian. The win for James, I thought was gone when he ran over a slower car in the hole and shot over the bank curve and bounced of the wall. Just staightened the braid and back to racing. Great build on his part in F1. WOW
