His name is Ezar, which is short for Ezarilah. It's a short E, pronounced "eh". I've got a video cam coming with us, so I'm hoping he catches some good footage and snaps some nice pics.

Good News: It's official! Tony will joining the Dargon caravan. His flight arrives at 9:25 am into Knoxville. Gonna be fun!
Bad News: My boss just dumped 2 huge projects on me that I have to have done before I leave. Needless to say, I'm pulling an all-nighter. Worst case... Chaad... I might be driving with you. :brunout:

For me, that would be great! If you don't get your work done in time to roll with the rest of the gang, I'm planning on hitting the road at around 3:30pm. I could even be ready a little earlier if need be; you've got my phone #, so call if you need to.

Roger-
Didn't know you guys were shooting for the moon. I just told Tony that his 9:30am arrival should be fine as I was expecting you guys to roll in about 10am. Hmmmm...

Hey Tony... any chance you could take the 7:40PM flight on Thursday night? You're welcome to share my room. Then we could get a nice early run.

ok guys...I just finished a 50 hour marathon of wrenching and the car is on the road. Pending surprises during road test, I MIGHT be able to join you. Exactly when on thursday (or Friday?) will you be gathering or driving the Dragon?. I'll have a rev limiter and a first timer, so I might take it easy...but that's just me talking now
