Ha ha. Dave is a legend. Haven't seen that "T" this year, just the great turbo Hudson. Love the patina on that car!

Some of you have met my nephew Jamie, who was at the track with me about 12 years ago. He was here at that time to teach developers at DrFirst to program on the Palm Pilot. During his high school summer, he worked directly with Jeff Hawkins, who did invent the Palm Pilot.

I had the pleasure of tech inspecting his 914 at the last event. Unfortunately I heard it didn't last long on track. Great guy.
