Saturday morning was a different scene.  An early race was not to be.

Since we didn't race before the airshow as planned, we got to watch while we waited.  Did you know they have a new airplane-car conversion?  They hang this truck under a Piper Cub... after landing, the pilot jumps down into the truck and drives the whole thing away!
Cool, huh?
