Well thank you gentleman. Kind words indeed. To put things into perspective, I remember when Melissa Waters was in a stroller at El Mirage (I hung out with her step brother Anthony). 1999 was my first year back to Speed Week after graduating high school. I was 18 and she was 5 and she wouldn't leave me alone in the pool at the State Line Inn (now the Econo-Lodge). She wanted me to pick her up and throw her out of the water and such. Last year she came back and is 17 or 18 now and I went over to say hi and asked her if she remembered playing in the pool together and she didn't 'cause it was too long ago! I offically felt old at that point.
My dad told me that when he was young they'd say don't trust anyone over 30. I'm 32 now. Great.
