Hey Mark, how did you feel, when you were passing the Ferrari on the front straight-a-way 
for me that was the best part of the afternoon. It is interesting that Joe also caught the same F-car, but pulled into the pits. What happened

In the last minutes of the 90 minute race Joseph flat spotted a right front tire and made an unscheduled pit stop. Fortunately we had an "extra" wheel and tire in the pit and Mark,Ron and I were able to get it changed quickly and have him back out on the track still in the lead. Last year Mark "won" the first 55 minutes of a one hour sprint race before cutting down a tire. And just minutes before Joseph came in Mark had said "I sure hope we do not have a tire problem like last year". This time we were ready !

I wanted to stick my hand out the window and wave good bye.

Maybe I can have my son transfer some of the highlights from my incar to a CD.

Great job Mark and Joe! This was the most monster track purpose 928's I've seen in one place in a long time. I got a chance to take my car on the drive and follow on Sunday. On the 2nd lap they had us going into turn 1 at 100mph........or maybe that was just because I was the last car in the group and could give myself a little room. At that speed the turn is interesting but not nearly as exciting as seeing the angry black marks going up into the wall. You can just hear the "aww sh*****t...."

Absolutely excellent.
Congratulations to Mark, Joe Fan, and Jim Bailey for pit work.
Tell Renee' that there are times when it is OK to boast - and this is one of them!
Beat your chest and shout at the rafters! You earned it!
Proud to know you,
Carl

Congratulations to you guys!!
As someone stated earlier, if you have never seen these guys on the track you are really missing something spectacular.
I look forward to seeing you Labor Day weekend at Road America.

You make us Proud
Wow! 
Congradulations, terrific job to both Mark and Joe. Just proves our cars were way ahead of the times when they were still built.
