Scott, I thought I knew that name from somewhere but with my messed up memory, it was difficult.
I think I met Vern on that first relay, probably at Rockingham NC.

I thought this one was going to be close all the way but Vern was in front by a few votes all the way, only at the end did it get close.
Congrats all and Vern for coming out on top.

The glamour shot is what got her the nomination. ;) The vote was more swayed by the history, at least for me. IIRC, she was acting up before the relay, (which was later found to be a failed Dyna S??) so you took your wife's car as a support vehicle, and the water pump failed!?? >:( ;D ;D

. You have a great memory, yes that damn Dyna, I’ll never have another one in her, she will only run on points as long as I’m alive! I thought that shot of her was pretty nice I have to admit, thanks for your support!

Vern, I had an idea that we might have met at Bills but I also thought we might have met at Rockingham on the first relay, was this the case also ?

Did we actually meet twice ?
