    great stuff. i remember watching some of those guys run. they didn't have the freeways as we know them back then. and there wasn't a lot of money in it back then. they did it for the love of the sport. (y)

    That was very cool. I just looked at the dates and I was 9 days old when the 5th annual nationals started. Wow has it been that long? Thanks for the vid link.
