Let's See,
Me, Wifie, 4 boys, 3 daughter-in-laws, so that makes 9. The way I see it we need 2 more cars.

Seymour called one night and we talked for a couple hours about his blue race car. I couldn't believe his offer and was 100% shocked that he wanted me to keep racing his car in the future. I waited for a few days because I was almost sure it couldn't be true. I was always taught if something is too good to be true it probably is...... not this time. Seymour sent me some pictures and information about the car and we have talked many times since (and at the banquet) It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to work/race with Seymour and I am extremely grateful that he would consider me to keep racing his car. I am looking forward to the opportunity to race with him and hopefully get some of those records back from Mark!
I have always wanted an actual race car but never thought i'd have anything like this. I'm sure I will have a lot to learn going from a 14 second street car to a light weight 11 sec race car. I can't wait for the racing season to start.
It was great to meet you all at the banquet and put even more faces to the names. I had a great time with everyone and hope to be able to make it down again next year. I'm excited to see everyone at the track..... sounds like a lot of cool projects are being finished and will be ready for the racing season.
I'm not sure when it will be ready but I am working on a 74 duster for my wife to drive. It currently has a 318.....but not for long. Should have a mild built slant 6 in it shortly with some big ideas added as time and money arrive._________________ Ryan Covalt

Congrats again, Ryan. Couldn't have happened to a nicer and cooler guy.
I'm REALLY looking forward to Mason-Dixon...

| While at the banquet, two people expressed an interest in the 64/65 Valiant fiberglass front end, I have. I don't remember who one of them was. I don't know if I want to sell it, yet, but would like to know who was interested, so if I decide to sell I can let them know.

If anyone here sells Rob another car, I'll kill him myself before his wife even finds out...
