Not sure when in 2012 the end of the world takes place...but if we are still around then I would love to come. If the end has come then...I'll pass.

James,
I spent 10 years working with Alex Burns check him out - he is now CEO with Williams.
We both need to pull in some favors to help make this special.

Interesting how a lot of Aerospace Engineers found there way into Formula One racing.

Roger,

Don't know if you are still looking for a head count, but I am planning on heading down south for this. Sounds like too great of an event to pass up!!

That would be fantastic.

Leave the badge at home, things do get kinda stupid down here.

If your talking about "Judgment Day" that's May 21st of this year, so we'll all know well before then. Come on down Dean and bring the green beauty!

Roger,

Absolutely agree with you! We need to pull every string we have to see if we can make this REALLY special. Maybe if that goes well we can do an OCIC down this way too sometime. If we do it when nothing else is going on maybe they will let us have a bit of track time on the cheap... I don't know how any of it will ultimately play out but I will do my best to get something happening for the 928OC during that weekend!

Glen,

Drive down and I'll get a couple of my hotties and we will have our nearly matching S-cars a nice photo shoot!

^^^^^^
Don't get carried away with that! My plan is to covertly talk Jim M. in to coming to Austin to run the show! He did such a good job up in D/FW with Roger I think he can do it again blind folded! I'll just be his lacky and provide moral support! Wouldn't it be cool to have an OCIC AT the F1 track...or at least a track day/fun day on Friday and then all the car show type stuff and presentation and awards dinner on Sat on site? I think it would be pretty cool, but I love the smell of race gas in the mornings too, so I am obviously a bit crazy!

Maybe we can get a californian 'wagon train' headed that way - 1300 miles, sounds like fun!

Rob,
Move to Texas - you know it makes sense.
James has at least 20 of those awesome girls just waiting to crawl all over your 928.
Notice how all the local 928 cars have a girl on them.
Come to think of it I need to move to Austin and maybe get the same treatment.

PCplod,
You can ride "shotgun" with me anytime. I never break the speed limit.
