    I don't even remember taping the race! :D I am sure that Robert's wife got the burnout. I would have captured his video while we were there, but I did not take the cable that I needed to do it.

    Thanks, Luke, those are great pictures. My son and I were bummed that the Maverick wasn't finished, but we should have came anyway. We will be ready next year!

    Finished or not. Everyone is welcome wether they bring a car or not. Also, it's a great way to get some neat ideas. See you next year.:)
