Here are my pictures of the Falcon National Convention
in Indianapolis. It was a time for friends, cars, and good times. The drag
races were pretty neat, but the crowning moment was driving around the
Indianapolis Speedway! On our way home, we stopped to see some relatives we
hadn't seen for awhile in Iowa and Nebraska. It was good to see them and
catch up on each other.
