Great to see the 42 Havoline win today, I thought he
may run out of gas or someone may take him out for his
aggresive driving.

I got Kennys 1998 helmet and uniform friday, I thought
the helmet may be a fake because it did not have the
hose on the left side and it was a replica made by the
same guy who made the original, Mr Jason BEAM, it
turns out he made 156 of them for the public and I
have #99, I have never seen this type of replica for
sale any where, but there is #155 more out there.

I still have not heard back from MrBeam if he will
make another one for the Foundation, Maybe hes busy,
or he thinks theres #156 out there, why make another??

I live close to his shop, So I may just pay him a
visit just incase he delets his emails.

The uniform was a surprise in the photo it looked like
a Stand21, also in the photo the glove covers the belt
so it looked like a Stand21 to me, it turns out its
one of the original Simpson uniforms that Kenny wore
for the first part of 1998 and it has his name on the
belt.

They didnt take to good care of it, looks like some
yellow staining on the chest, Im going to take it to a
pro and have them clean it , if its possible.

I found a BellSouth hood, should be getting that in
the next week :)

I Hope everyone is doing well
