    Glad to hear y'all back and safe (some we still need to hear from)...we had a long and hard trip (4 miles) and we're fine. Can't say enough how impressed we are with the group...what a fine bunch of folks, crazy car nuts...(I'm typing like Frank, no complete sentences)...LOL.

    How AWESOME to have the Sprint collection there! Can't wait to see the articles on them as well as Ray's car...we're making history.

    Hat's off to Jeff! NOT "skunked again" buddy, eh? Too cool. Well deserved.

    A good time had by all.

    I made it back home about 11 am this morning. It was great to hook up with old friends and meet some new ones. Thanks to Jim for bringing the Sprint packages to complete the set. I look forward to seeing them in the magazine.

    I'm glad I brought the Sprint Stang and Sprint Pinto to go along with the Sprint Maverick. It was definately a Kodak moment. In fact, they were probably the most photographed trio of cars in the park. I looked over one time and there were 8 different people trying to photograph them at the same time. It drew a lot of people to the Mav/Comets area.

    I am looking forward to finishing my Sprint Maverick so I can take it to some Maverick related events. All the Mav/Comet people are great!

    Jim
