JD,
From what we have heard we are going to have a good turn out for the reunion. If I knew how to post photos I sure would do it, but I'm old school and don't know a lot about these computers.

I just wanted to thank everyone for a great time Sunday afternoon. I had a blast. I look forward to doing it again next May. The 98 still needs work but it's getting better.
Thanks,

Don Phelan was called to the card game in the sky this morning after tirelessly working for months to get this years reunion in at Wichita Falls. He was a great , yet humble man with VERY deep roots in racing. He exemplified the very best of the kind of people that make taking trips into the past.......worth it.
RIP Don

Mike,
Dad loves the photos! He says that he jumped a wheel the night before and stripped out one of the torsion arms and that is why the car is sitting funny... Thanks again!

If anyone has any pictures of the 98 on the track I would appreciate getting a couple for my scrapbook. We did not have time to take any (too busy under the hood and on the track). Please email them to [email protected].
Thanks,

I miss the cars, the people, the racing but the sound of the engines gave me goose bumps on my arms. Those were the days.
