Danny,

How about a little 993 TWS fix? Here is the start of the enduro:

Come on, two 993's at TWS. What more could you ask for?

BTW, I finally got out to TWS. This is only my third time in seven years and I don't think the first two counted......

George's ego quintupled when he saw that. He immediately scheduled a very special back waxing to celebrate.

Yeah, Michael told me about that. I'm not really happy with that time since I think I had at least a second or more in the car, I just left too much on the table. Better safe than sorry after my big off on the third lap of the first session of the weekend. BTW, Dave, that was so five minutes ago, now they have electrolysis......

Hi guys, I'll be there in Garage #0. It'll be a blue popup canopy.

This is my 2nd DE, first one 3 weeks ago at MSR. Looking forward to learning some more this weekend. Hope to meet you guys.

Regards,

Steve

Well I just finished cleaning up the car after returning from TWS. The big news for me is that after the first run on Sunday, I got moved to blue. I had a horrible start on Saturday, and my instructor was worried about my driving, but Hugh got me to settle in nicely, and by the end of the day Saturday things were starting to click. First run Sunday I was pretty well handling the green group, to the point where I could overtake nearly everyone there. So up to blue, and in spite of some anxiety about the move, I slotted right in to the higher speeds, and actually was able to make several passes in my first run.

Got to meet several Rennsters. Electric Lizard, Don McGee, and Veloce Raptor. I wish I could have gotten a pic of the Raptor's face when I came up and asked if he was the Raptor. It was priceless.

Great to see everyone. Props to LSRPCA for a very well run DE.

A good time was had by all, no doubt. VR, thanks for the practice pointers, and the hot laps.
Let me also say that MGlobe, HWFM Racing's chief martini maker, came by that handle honestly. I was treated to a fine dirty martini made by the martini meister and I must say it was superb. Everyone needs a back-up trade, and if this droving thing doesn't pan out, you have a fine future as a bartender.
P.S. It is spelled Magee. My potato farming ancestors are completely different from the McGee clan.

Oops, sorry, Don, I corrected it.
