And, yeah, it was great seeing these cars locally. Better still was to have folks in the stands who have not seen these cars before get their exposure. I can tell you that there are a couple of thousand more non wing fans in the US today.

Carey,
Did you get any news on the guy over at the Drag Strip that took that ride Saturday afternoon? We were parked over there right near where it happened, probably the closest to it, and it sounded and looked pretty bad. I know he went over a couple of times. We started keeping a closer eye on the strip after that, just in case something else happened. It was good to see the safety crew rolling toward the scene even before the car came to rest.
