Tremendous weekend Steve.

Great finish with the all A's late P4 today.

Congrats and thanks as always!!:tro::$:

Thanks Larry.. It really was a fun weekend with a lot of great moments. Hope everyone got something along the way!

Dave. My pleasure. I headed home after the 4th with storm approaching which made it possible to rework the sequence for the off/turf. Proved to be well worth the effort.

Glad you tuned in to the Alabama paddock scene. I'd do more of those, but you frequently can't get a signal that's strong enough to start a broadcast.

Nice work

THX Gus!
