We (Li'l Brit, my cousin Bob Smith and I) attended
our first show in September 2000 in Indianapolis,
Indiana. As you can see, it was fruitful. We
received
one of two awards for excellence
in the "Diamond in the Rough" category.
The weekend included tech sessions,

a fun rally based on "who Wants to be a Millionaire?" through beautiful
countryside , a show featuring Lotus and Riley automobiles, and a dinner
with the
main speaker being Mr. Mark Scott of Riley and Scott. However,
the highlight of the weekend was a lap around the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway Formula 1 track.
Only six days prior, cars were traveling at
over 225 MPH around the same track. Though we were limited to only 30
MPH maximum (an Indianapolis Motor Speedway
policy), most cars travelled
at only 20 - 25 MPH (except for the corners which were at 30 MPH). it was
a total rush!
The following plaque occupies a place of honor on my new carbon fiber
dash which includes new Stewart Warner guages.
