[SEL] Preliminary Portland Pictures Listing

[Jeff Allen]

Dave,

I have to keep it short cause their about to back to green flag racing. Yes 
I did see engines and WOW. I think first page of Portland is page 9, and 
second picture is a Maytag before you got to it. Peter did a great job as 
well as Paul in getting these up so quick. The last pages of cars that go 
fast? Loved it cause back to my race and my boys are doing well.

Jeff
