Really wish I could go.. Kinda bummed but happy its growing !

May be able to make it now..

Been working with Lon Salgren at Top Down Solutions. He's sending some cool stuff for us to give away at the Expo this year. Lon's a cool guy and we're excited he chose to support us this year.

Based on the response we've seen on FaceBook, it's really going to be big this year. Like on the order of double what we had last year which was 60+ cars.

I might come up from Peoria, especially if Bruce Hawkins is coming. I gotta meet the guy after all the help he's given me!

My car will just barely be on the road by then. Hopefully it won't break down!
