Me and my 2 buddies will be there Sunday. He is still gathering parts for his sand rover and me gathering lots of parts for my Tow'd. I hope the bargains will be plentiful in the swap meet area. I'll look for you guys in the pits and I would surely like to get a pic or 2 of the "newly signed" manx.

Congrats on the class win, very respectable showing. You looked pretty excited after the winning run. A nice day for racing, not too miserably hot and an occasional. Shame about that car in the sand trap though. I'm glad no one was hurt.

actually that was my older brother and is car, and his friend drove. all the work that my brother put into the buggy finally paid off with a win. . i think his best time was like a 9.22 or 9.33. not bad for a daily driver. my best time with my rail was a 10.88 which isn't to bad for a 1641cc.
