This year had been outstanding at its capacity. We've had terrific attendance.

Shank was terrific. Those were outstanding performances.

Last year, everything went great in all aspects except attendance.

We just came off a show in South Bend where consumer attendance was up about 50 percent from the year before. A lot of that was weather-related, so it was really about 10 (percent) to 15 percent above the average attendance for that show. Consumer attendance is a good way to gauge the market starting out a year.

You know, to see both cars run well this year, it's outstanding. It means a lot, because we know the equipment is the same. These guys have done an outstanding job.

The Birdcage has reached its capacity, ... We now have to concentrate on organizing the donations to get the items where they are needed. The Canaries would like to thank everyone who contributed to the clothing drive; your help is much appreciated.
