Jamo,

Well said Sir. We tried to make improvements over last year, and I think we did. But every year something has changed and needs improving again. Trust me if IV becomes reality then their will be some more improvements made.

However, Frank was totally right about driving when the RipChords were playing. Poor Frank was in the wrong place at the wrong time when I went into my "Police Mode!" (Amazing how fast that can come back. )

DV Jr. - My son Randy for those that don't know and no, he is not a "Jr." A certain Cobra pulled out onto the "strip" just after it had ALL been shut down. At my orders Randy ran up to the car to tell him to hold off for a few minutes. I could tell by the look on Randy's face that the conversation was not going to well. I arrived just in time to see the guy slap the car in gear and start to raise the RPM. I then got his attention and I asked him to shut it down until the band was done. I got a, "YA RIGHT" from the driver and then a full throttle launch. He just about slid sideways into my leg as he fish-tailed down the road.

Have any of you been around when a Cop went into full mode, especially an old ornery one? Well, Frank did!

Needless to say, "you can run" but you can't hide. I did track down this individual and we had a slight heart to heart talk.

I'm sure he wont be doing that at the Fling again. Nice guy too! It just seems the Fling brings out the hormones in everyone.

DV -- A time and a place guys..a time and a place.
