[DeTomaso] Great party!

[JEFFREY COBB]

Thanks Mike for all your cool info. 
Makes me feel as if I am there and I want to be.
Alain de Cadenet needs to watch out as you may be taking his place in the automotive world info arena.

I don't know if it rejoined the track and broke out there, or retired from the pits. It looked and sounded fine when it came right past me on the way to their garage. Hopefully it's something minor. They go back out in about five hours.
