I enjoyed it. Before leaving, I talked to Craig Blood about tech issues. It was a profitable evening all 'round.

So reading between the lines the Pine Tree Air Freshener clears your senses allowing you to focus on the tree improving your reaction time, is that how it works 
Sounds like you had a good night.

My car probably tips the scales around 3700 or so with me in it... due to the fact that the Z28 weighs about 150-200lbs lighter than a WS6.

You guys missed a good show today. It was fun. not a lot of cars there & all the trophies went to the classic cars which disappointed me because there was some nicer newer cars that should have gotten at least something.
