Dan if your stuck, I still got a new pair, but I will need replacements as
they seem to be hard to get now.

Chris,

I think holding our annual meet at SCS is a great idea. It's still a good
drive for me but it's a central location for most and a good day out. Seems
we always get most cars there? Birmingham is about as far north as I'll be
doing for a one day event so it'd make sense from where I live.

I'm hoping to have Hana at SCS this year if I can get those darn
headlights...
