    They ran at Alton so that’s a possibility for sure, but I really can’t tell from that angle where that shot is from.

    Happy birthday to your Dad. You can see in his face that he is still enjoying life! Good job and what an awesome history! I, too, got my love of cars from my Dad. He taught me what it took to make a living, not my professors. Spend all the time you can with him! I spent a ton of time with my Dad, right up to his last second, eight years ago. Miss him and think about him everyday.
