Congratulations to you and your son. I remember an interview some years ago with a guy who won a Sportsman class at a National Event. He was extremely proud and a little emotional, and said that he had been racing for 26 years and had never won anything. It helped me understand first, that getting close is still better than not getting close, and second, if you don't give up, something good will happen. Again, congrats for the recognition and great performance at the race. |

From a fellow mopar fan and racer, congratulations!
Just remember how long Force went before winning his first race, look at what he's done since, never give up. Dad always said, he's tyring for the second $million, the first is to hard to get. |

Nice going. You did a great job. The Winter nationals will be here soon and you will get another chance to go home with a Wally.
