time to gloat a little....

I hope Hayden is the next. That way I'll feel better about all the times he passed me.

Oh come on Curt, I didn't pass you that many times!

We going to see you at A/C or Dixie next weekend?

If the weather's nice I might come to watch. I just had my sinuses rotorootered and I'm on weight restrictions. I probably make it out in May, sometime. I'm not in a huge hurry.
