((Speaking to a room mainly filled with Hokies; Sparky Woods openly expressed
his optimism about UVa's upcoming season; despite the loss of 15 starters.
((:))
The offensive picture is not as clear as the artist's rendition Woods
brought of the improvements that are being made to Scott Stadium. The two
biggest challenges; a young, inexperienced offensive line without depth, and a
new starting quarterback in Aaron Brooks. Woods, who was the head coach at
South Carolina for five years; has worked closely with George Welsh.
((:))
Woods feels good about former Powell valley star Thomas Jones replacing Tiki
Barber at tailback.))

But it wasn't for the racers.
William Panaiha and Joy Pilla tied the knot last night in front of family,
friends, and hundreds of race fans.
The couple met at the race track so it only seemed approriate that they
marry there.
In keeping with the racing theme, witnesses threw chicken bones instead of
rice at the happy couple.
It was so touching it even brought a tear to Lugnut's eyes.
