Re: Rolex 24

One of the Rolex winners (don't ask me the class) is from Leawood, Scott Tucker. It seems there was a contested finish and the officials named Tuckers team the winners. Car #555, a Ferrari I think.

Re: When is the next garage day?

George's is located on 135th Street between Holmes and Wornall just west of the railroad tracks in Martin City. It is just a couple of doors west of Jess & Jims, just east of RC's, and across the street from Martin City Brewing.
