Hey everyone, thanks for the kind words! Treffen was LOTS of fun. Definitely
cool to meet Nate, see Jim and Ellen again, and to finally meet Steve...among
the dozens of other people we met!

Daun, I still owe you that ride. You shoulda been there! They were allowing
passengers on the autocross runs. :)

As for the GRM Challenge, don't look at this year's results. Mac and the gang
had some bad luck and weren't able to bring their true entry. I had the
pleasure of acting as pit crew and autocross driver for the $2004 entry.
Considering that the car had NEVER run until less than 48hrs before the drag
races, and that they did horribly in the car show, they still finished
respectably mid-pack. If they could have entered the car again in $2005 like
they had planned, I'm sure it would have done VERY well.
