Sorry we weren't involved.  I'm often so backlogged that I dsometimes 
read mail about events that I just missed - such as this.  Ooops...

Well I'm going to go with my family.  We live a good 4 or 5 miles east of 
the Speedway on the western edge of Dale City.  We'll be packed into the 
EuroVan to get there - our Thing is not quite ready for events beyond the 
driveway.  

Safeest thing to be sure to get email to me several days in advance - I 
believe Pete has our phone number as well - as does the Prince Willy 
phone book :)
