Rumor mill says that Mike Brown is going to get out of racing.

Insiders also say he claims that same thing every year that he does not win.

And if they weren't born here (as I was), then they should get here as soon as then can, just like the sticker on Marty Case's (N30JF) toolbox says (will have to get a picture of it soon too) - "I wasn't born in Texas - But I got here as soon as I could". :)

Jack,
I'm not going to finish it until you find me a picture of it!

However I can tell you that I am doing numerous things to the restoration that even Go Buggy didnt do( No jab intended Mike) and its been a real pain in the lower end. I wont reveal these things on my website until after Oshkosh, sorry guys. I'm sure I'll receive the "Most insane award" if there is such a thing. I'm really excited about it all though.

Haven't started the Corsair yet as I have been working 7 days a week, 10 to 12 hour days on the SNJ. For some reason it just doesnt get done by simply taking about it.

Chuck
