You probably would have had time. I was hoping we were going to have
enough video tape to get that Ram's entire run. What a pain that guy
was. I'm sure he didn't mean to be a pain, but I think my old Granada
could have run faster than that.

Congrats on that run, looked pretty good.

We've pretty much made Jim an honorary DML member. We still need to
update our Spring Fling 99 meet report and put his name on the picture
we got of his truck.

The guy with the Cherokee came over to congratulate Jim. Turns out he
only broke out by 2/1000. Dialed in at 17.33, ran 17.32 and 8/1000. He
said he was on the brakes as he crossed the line as well because he knew
he was going to break out. Guess not enough. Not that I feel bad for
him or anything :-).
We had a great time, even though I decided again against racing. I
think I'm afraid that I'll like it too much and have to get a third Dak
for racing. :-)
