| Congrat's are definately in order! Like moon shadow stated, please explain the classes and the break downs. On another side note, don't know if anyone has noticed, but I have been watching a fair bit of "Pinks All Out", and if I am correct, it looks like Ford has won most of these events, second is Mopar and gm bringing up a distant 3rd amongst all their brands! It seems that when you have to run all out without negotiating a "20 car length lead"  the scrubs seem to fall on their faces! Maybe someone can confirm the stats. Rob
I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!
