Re: AMX NHRA win

[Jock J Jocewicz <namdra@xxxxxxxx>]

Jim,
  Both Scott and his son, Eric, were at the '05 AMC NATIONALS racing
their AMC's. Eric, in a 79 Spirit, ended up getting the runner-up spot in
the Consolation race and Scott, in his SS/JA 70 AMX, got the runner-up
spot in Pro (where he broke).

  I hope to send the list more info on the meet tomorrow but right now I
am too beat. Got home Sunday evening from the meet and spent today
unloading car and trailer and trying to get things done. Both P.J. and I
are pooped but this is usual for us every year after the AMC NATIONALS.
Should start recuperating tomorrow!
