Racing update! (GRM $2006 challenge)

[bmcgarvey at gmail.com (Brian McGarvey)]

Folks,

A grand time was had by all involved. Being the fastest German Yard
Art is fantastic. Just to let you know. Most of the higher placing
teams had many more people actively involved in the team effort. We do
fantastic with the number of people we have..

On that note..
I have to send out thanks to
Dan Bubb, Tranny building..
Brian Haygood, ITB manufacture ..
Mike Potter -- Fantastic Sponsor ..More parts and Stickers applied...
Scott F. Williams, Nitrous kit that we have yet to spray and of course FI info..
and all the cool folks who give us fantastic deals.

So were hoping for a top 10 next year.
Cruise the pictures, and volunteer, near the VA,DC, MD is best, but we
take any help we can get.

BTW the mk1 is for sale..  tranny is toast, but car runs good.

Brian
