You Canadian guys have been great friends - thank you for that.

So stay well--the Mini will miss the draft it picked up when you went flying by in that awesome car; whoever buys it is getting something really special.

Funny - one option for me was to go to a nearby track (Tamworth NH), but I'd miss Tremblant and the Glen too much.
It was fun being on track with you and the super Mini.

Rick-San, late to the love fest here, just want to publicly echo my earlier comments to you - going back many years now, you were a welcoming, big part of what drew me to PCA/DE in the first place - and you have become a true friend.

Nat and I will miss you at the track, but I am sure we will find occasions to share good times in the future!

Cheers

Matt

Thanks, Matt - my infectious enthusiasm has cost a lot of drivers a lot of $ as they joined me in the deep end of the pool.
You and Nat are wonderful friends and that will continue.

Hey Rick,

It has been some time since we last saw each other, BUT I will certainly miss seeing y'all at the track! Great fun! Enjoy Maine

All the best Rick. I remember a few times hanging with you in the Tremblant paddock. You'll be missed.

Best of everything to you. A true gentleman...

Sorry to see you go Rick. It was nice sharing the track with you at WGI a few times. With a view like you have it would be hard for me to leave home as well.

Its funny but I have spoken to a bunch of people who have bowed out of racing after a long stretch, and also out of DE. I always wonder if I will feel differently some day? Right now I am going in the opposite direction!

Classy way to exit..... hope you find the same level of fulfillment with your other activities. Living on any coast is a great start.

All the best, Rick. It was always fun watching your car fly around Tremblant.
