Everyone I talked to at the track thought you did great and we were happy to have been track-side to see the maiden launch of that monster . The future is really going to be fun as we watch the progression to the full potential of your build

It can be a real pain to search C5. I wish they would make that a lot easier. Somewhere I learned you can go to a search engine like Yahoo, type in what you are looking for followed by "site: camaro5.com". That's how I found the drag sticky.

John is up at Martinsville freezing his behind. I hope he doesn't bring any of that cold air down here next week!
