I'm back home in Oakland, CA. I just wanted to thank everyone for such a great time. I can't get this smile off my face.

I'm sure Russell is glad I brought with me the best wrench ever Ray Schubert here he is preforming his magic on the Race Shop Ghia engine so KS can make his runs!

You don't know the half of it, Jim. Every Racer I got in something broke and Ray had to fix it. First I got in the Iguana and the clutch broke. Ray and the Gasser Garage crew had to pull the engine and do a clutch. I make a pass in the Race Shop Ghia and a head stud breaks, out comes the engine and new copper shims were installed along with a new stud. Finally I go to make a pass in $um Fun and it has an oil leak. I'm surprised Russell let me touch any more cars.
