I Guarantee you will not leave with a dry eye.

Thanks Ron, I try and catch that this evening. I too hope to visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial, because I feel like I have a personal attachment to the tragic event even though I wasn't to begin my life for 17 more years. This day, and it's tragic significance to our country strongly underscores why I got so FIRED UP every time I raced an import at Bandimere Speedway (especially Japanese ones). I had great success against them with my Cavalier, and I even had my sponsor "Exhaust Pros", tell me that some import fans showed up there to hop up their exhaust systems because of how my car ran/sounded, and they told the owner that they were hoping they didn't have to race me...I think of our people who had to go thru that tragic ordeal (and their families), every time I line up next to any of them...no I'LL NEVER FORGET!!!
