Just so everyone knows, Duane now has a long "quick check list" for his field expedition.
I wish him luck!

You are Mr. 409 Vern. You and Ronnie Evans. Nice meeting you at Vargo. Sam

Thanks Sam. Same here.
Hope you didn't waste too much time looking at that old worn out '09 convertible next to Ronnie's car.
Ronnie is in a class of his own. One of my true heros. By the way....last time out at Atco: 10.31 130.51 with plenty of daylight under the front wheels!

And that's short shifting at 7000.
Not bad for an old garbage truck engine ....huh?
