This years school was a great success.  Thank you Walt and all of your crew.  There were about 150 students present yesterday.  The rain stopped just before class and held off for the rest of the day.  This year was more that just cars.  There was a snow mobile, jet ski, rv, cars and two cars inside of a garage.

Thanks again to everyone that made this happen.  It was a great experience and we all look forward to next years class.
