Hey Gary,
Dang, sorry to hear your not gonna make it. I must admit, a good smile, when I read you were. I had hoped for a good "go to guy" in the pits. (Lord knows I usually need several).
A while back, I happened to be chasing another old Buick in the middle of Texas, and I saw your awesome Stude on a trailer, headed west, for it's new home I guessed.
That got me stewing about it all... grateful for all your and Mikes help... proud to have you on my hero list... wondering when your gonna bring that Jimmy out and hand me my butt (like it should be)
... right about then, I hear a siren... look in the mirror... Bingo! Texas State boys got me : 87 in a 60 .
I mostly blame you!
Hope too see you on some race track again, some day.
