| Thanks for the background Charlie I am champing at the bit to get to Bonneville my buddie who is traveling with my us has said that he will buy a big zoom lenze to fit my digital slr camera because he cant afford to buy the whole kit. I already have a 300mm but i think it will be too small and i dont want to spend the money on a bigger lenze. but between us we will have some serious photo power and we will make Charlies racer one of our priorities. I will be hunting you down as soon as we hit the salt to get an idea of when you will be running. To quote a famous line from American Graffiti "S*#t John that other guy may as well get in his wheelchair and roll home" Ha ha See you on the salt Cheers Greg

| Greg, Nice quote from American Grafitti. Funny, two of my all time favorite movies has been mentioned here. "Ole Burt" brings on the emotions every time I see it. It always gives me inspiration to do better and keep at it. In the movie he states the 1920 Indian Scout is 42 years old. That puts his first visit around 62 or 63. I think he was born in 1900 and that made him a rookie at 62 or 63 also. The reason I related so much is that I was a rookie at about that same age. In American Grafitti, Wolfman Jack advertised the movie by asking, "Where were you in 62"? Well, I was right there in Modesto attending the junior college. When that movie came out, the hair stood up on the back of my head. We lived in an apartment building on the corner where the main drag turned from down 10th to up 11th (one-way streets). We had plenty of hamburgers and fries at Mel's drive-in delivered by girls on roller skates. George Lucas (producer) was from Modesto and attending college there at the same time, but I never met him. Later I was a little dissapointed when I found out it was filmed in a Petaluma, CA just north of San Francisco. See you at Bonneville................
