I finally got the chance to read the article, and it left me deeply moved. I wish I had gotten the chance to meet Chris, and I look forward to someday meeting David and the rest of the New Hemi team. To me their quest to succeed is nothing short of inspirational. Their perserverance against adversity at Indy merely reinforced that in my mind.

There is never a shortage of good people at the track. Kind people who will always help you in time of need. We appreciated the help getting the car back in the trailer, and I never doubted that we would make it back. It only took a couple of days, and a couple thousands dollars.

And it was great to see Jerry and Don again. Good people!

Yes, Kevin did a great job on the article, and yes, it was indeed Mr Paul Dilcher who went out of his way to pick up the crank for us.

After getting back to Indy Friday night, with our engine reassembled with new crank, resized rods, etc... We ended up breaking a cam pin, and then tapping some pistons with some valves, both intake and exhaust. So all we got was that round one of eliminations. Too bad we beat Dennis Breeden in that round, and then could not go on, It would have better if we broke before that, and then he could have run more runs. So apparently our bad luck was contagious. Sorry Dennis.

Chris and I, used to joke about having a black cloud following us around...But no cloud was ever dark enough, to cause us to quit.

The timing on the article was special too. It ended up appearing very close to the time, a year later, that we lost Chris.

So, maybe we will see some of you in Columbus..

God Bless
