I thought that might have been the car you told me was for sale Pete. Was it $30k or $50k turn key or another amount?

The weather at Farmington started out real nice,but by the time Alan made that pass it had cooled off enough that there was no traction on the top end. Other cars got loose, but his was a little more powerful and he couldn't regain control soon enough. The car is a top notch piece and he will have it back together ,good news is that his new car is complete and ready to go.

Thanks for the local input, Mike

Nice to get the real reasons for an unfortunate accident, luckily not too much damage.
