    WTG! It was a great day for racing Saturday. I ran my Thunderchicken at Sealy's Car Club Bash (went 4 rounds). The weather was VERY nice! Look like it was nice on the other side of Houston too!

    BTW, I saw you run this in last year's FFW. It turned a lot of heads! I assume you and your fellow Ford buddies will be making this year's? I'll be looking for you (not hard to find you amongst all the blah SN95's! :)

    Great Photo (saved it to my desktop) and Congrats!
