Thanks everyone for your excellent response! I winning number I chose was, because of his 4th consecutive NASCAR series champoinship, #48...Jimmie Johnson!! No one guessed it. The "closest to the pin" was a late entry. Fellow member, Larry W., who number was #44, gets the nod on this one. Congratulations Larry!! Get in touch and we'll work out the details.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this excellent build...and of course to Graham for gettin' the lumber!!
Best, Capt. Chris
