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:

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
