May 25 - Memorial Day and Home from PA

Hey Everybody;
On Saturday evening the Follow A Dream team was ready to resume our quest for another victory. The team had worked hard to tweak the car for the following rounds. Some engine mods resulted in a few more horses and some added clutch work gave us a bit more bite. When we got to the line, Marty hit the pre-stage light and then began to roll into stage, but ended up deep staging. As a result, when the lights came down, the new combination resulted in a red light, and our stay in Maple Grove, although initially encouraging, was over for this time around. So, we packed up the truck, drove through the night and ended up back home on the Cape in the early morning hours.
The team will be taking Sunday and Monday off to celebrate Memorial Day weekend with family and friends.
We hope you will remember, as you do the same, that about 233 years ago some of our forefathers "followed a dream" which lead to the beginning of our great country. One of the few countries in the world where each of us can be free to follow OUR dreams whatever they may be. I ask that as you enjoy whatever activities you have planned for this holiday weekend, you take pause for a moment or two to remember those who have given their all in service to you and your family, to provide the freedoms that make America great. I know the beach and the bar-b-ques and the sales at the mall are all great, but let's remember the men, women and their deeds that allow us to enjoy this weekend the way we do; that's what this holiday is all about.
