Sorry for being gone but an illness put me down from Friday before Kansas until today. Pretty much bed ridden or at the hospital. Will be more off than on until the end of the month.

Mike Spence died testing #30 Greg Welds car. He hit the wall during practice and the wheel struck him in the head causing fatal head injuries. :(Quote:

This is a photo from Indy.
