As Charlie said you missed a great time. Charlie you missed Dan entertainment Saturday night (turns out he had played with the Charlie Daniel band in his earlier days) great performer, guitar player and singer. A number of folks stopped by including Ernest with his one of a kind PSRU. BIG! sorta like Ernest {:>). Talked to one gent who was part of a winning rotary racing team - doing something else now - but, trying to get him to subscribe just for his entertainment (if no other reason) - I believe his name was Norman Samuels (not certain about the last name). Engine is continuing to run cooler - so hopefully that means its breaking in. Still have not tried over 6500 - would really hate to break another engine so soon by pushing it too hard too soon. Besides, I want to make it to Charlie's flyin at the end of the month {:>) Need more/different rotaries at these flyins as well as new faces.
