Guys,

Thank you all very much. Sorry I haven't been on here lately but I've been busy trying to find a job. It's just now sinking in that I am on a trophy with those guys. Special thanks to my old friend and Competition Board member Fred Clarke for helping me get this award. It's a very short list and although he won't/can't say, I believe he helped me immensely to win this deal. The trophy was absolutely incredible, heavy too. It was an honor just to hold it. Thankfully, they let us take some pictures with it after the presentation.

The convention was in Vegas and I came back in tact which is something we can't all say.

BTW, Look out for our cars in a future issue of GRM.

Thanks again guys,

Greg Ira
