The story to be told......

I just left Chris' Mother, after she called and asked for some things for Max's school project.

Max is Chris' youngest son, a 2nd grader who has a school project.

The project he chose; was his Dad, and the race car.

So he needs pictures, and whatever.... No problem.....

I was up until 2:00 AM sorting through the volumes of photographs, and other "stuff".  I put over 150 photographs of Chris when we were building the car ( I have thousands, but not all have Chris in them), onto the DVD, along with numerous videos.

I also gave him a Wally from the first race we won. (Someday he will get them all) And I had a plaque with a picture of the car on it's maiden voyage, that I also gave him.  I gave him a Class Finalist Sticker from Las Vegas, and threw in some other things..

So now, I am curious to hear the story as he sees it, and tells it.

I am gratified to know that Chris will not be forgotten. He was an incredibly gifted, and unique individual. And I know that his sons, and daughter will never allow him to be forgotten.

I am now, more than ever, committed to finishing the book about our ventures with the car. I don't care if nobody else ever reads it, but his children will know every thought, every decision, every strategy, and everything that went into the car. And they will know the part that their Dad, along with his Dad, played in building that car.

God Bless and Race Safely
