We pulled into the driveway around 7pm today after driving the final leg in sun, cool temps but no rain. 3,944 miles in total and a fair bit of help along the way. I'd like to thank Norma and Bruce and all others who helped to put a great show on again this year. Nicely done everyone ! Cory Drake did some very nice artwork again, as usual. Beautiful stuff. A special shout out to Todd, Danny and Cory for the help replacing my windshield that took a rock heading into Florida and cracked. Cary Hines came thru and brought an extra for me to Carlisle and we did the swap on the field Saturday. Woke up Sunday morning and the bugger cracked itself overnight. Heading North today the phone rang and it was Cary Hines. He's sending me a second windshield next week....NO CHARGE ! Now that's first class generosity. It was great to see old friends again and put faces to names we knew already. Thank you everyone. Jack....we couldn't find you to say goodbye before we left. You like to sleep in, eh ?

David,
Great seeing you and Francine again this year. Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound.
David,
You are my Speedster idol - 3.944 miles is amazing. Always glad to see you and Francine arrive in Carlisle, hope to see you there again in 2015.
David, Francine: Always a distinct pleasure to round up w/ you guys. Glad you made it this year, and that the car worked well enough to get you up and down the US eastern seaboard, w/ a stop off at Carlisle. Pretty good show there, eh? Are you going to snoop out the electrical business on the car, or do you figure it fixed itself?
Cheers!!
Good to see you again too, Kelly. It acted up a bit on the last day coming home too. Pretty sure it's just a well hidden loose wire and we'll get a grip on that when time allows. Gotta catch up on work right now.
David, you are indeed a marvel. Way back in 2005 I did a run to California that was 2,175 x 2 followed by a Carlisle run, 550 x 2 and thought I was hot stuff. Well, my friend, you do the big runs annually and you ARE hot stuff! Glad you and Fran made it home safely. Hoss
Here you go, David - for when the new glass you get, eh?
