Joe, she ran at Indy. If I recall correctly, we all walked past her pit area when we walked out to Chris Cook's campsite on Saturday night (when we got separated from you and John).

Not sure Joe.

Joe - 161.736 last year - doesn't say which class. There are a LOT of classes at Bonneville. Google Valerie Thompson Racing - several different sites.

Jeff: "Hey Jim, that Canidae stuff tastes pretty good!"
Jim: "Jeff, you're not supposed to eat it!"
Jeff: "I know, but I don't care, ha ha ha!"

Jeff, please don't kick my ass.

 

[Mr. Jean]

Yeah, everyone was busy checking out Warren Johnson's ride in #5655 that they never noticed Evan Knoll standing in the background!

Thanks for the comments on the pics. The event was great and as a bonus I finally got to meet Marc Gewertz. I have been inspired by his photos for years in many different publications and looked forward to meeting him. Turns out that not only is he an ace with the camera but a true nice guy as well.
