  You're not getting weaker - your jacks are getting heavier. :-)

   Hmmm, sorry, but I don't think I'll be going there - even for a
HEMI cuda... ;-)

   Actually, I think I saw a photo of 1/3 of your pit crew
with Jim in the winner's circle at the Chrysler Classic... ;-)

  I keep forgetting to check. :-) We seem to get up there OK
every year but I'm not sure if that's because its easy to find
or if its because Ed is usually driving. ;-) I've been meaning
to check the Performance World web site to see what they have
as far as directions go, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
If you have some nice easy directions I sure won't turn them
down. :-)

  Ok, sounds good! I think we'll probably get to the show
around 9:30-10 or so; I have a feeling we'll run into each
other eventually - I'll just keep an eye out for Ti-Cats
logos. :-)

   Have you heard anything from Jim yet? Any other DMLers
planning to be at the show?
