I can't seem to post a reply on the Samoa thread. Got home at noon today (Wednesday) very tired but a lot to catch up on from being gone so long. My $2,500 tow car never skipped a beat in 4,700 miles. Samoa is the place to go for fast times especially after the track gets some rubber on it. Thanks to everybody who makes this race possible especially the Terrys' and Andrew and Jessica Howard. Getting to meet Guzzi was really special and the Guzzi car is awesome. We got lots of new ideas to go faster in the future.

I got all kinds of trophies, it makes quite a display on my workbench. I picked up a hat, a t shirt and some Killer Bee stickers too. Every time I turned around they were handing me something. I wish I could do this more often but it is always a special occaision when I can make it out west.

Congrats on the race win, and the fun trip, Seymour! Glad you got back to MN in good shape.

I thought I saw that you (Seymour) broke the record?? What did you and Mark run for best times??

I'm always making my slow cars a little faster, so maybe in 20 yrs I'll catch up with you cats...
