Enjoy.....
Wait - you used the turbo tail as a diaper changing table?
More seriously - Dell, as communicated by PM; congratulations to the 2 (soon to be 3) of you!

Dell almost forgot, in my house many things are forgiven but I never forget that May 13 (Mothers Day) for now and ever shall be the most important day in our house. My track time stays well away from that date.

Just for your consideration: T-12 days..........

50cc Kid Kart (Bambino) class, ages 5-8. We had a 4 1/2 year old girl at our track last year. My son took her out for some lead/follow drills to get her used to the track. A lot of fun.

Mega congrats, Dell - especially the "long odds" part!

Parenthood is the funnest stress of your life.

I'm watching the clock right now so I can zip home and play cars with my toddler. The newest game is how one car is broken and has to get carried home on the tow truck and then we fix it. He was deeply inspired by seeing my daily driver come home on a flatbed last week, and then seeing me wrench on it.

Dell, what a great day this is for you. Bring back fond memories. Thanks!! I have 2 girls, bookends.
I can't make out the equipment in the pic. Too early? Drover or Drovet? I guess behind the wheel we are all the same. That must be why I feel so good being behind the wheel. Equal.

Enjoy every fleeting moment.

Ah, very smart! Priming the kid to be a DIY'er on his own Porsche's down the road

Thanks! We won't know the sex of the drover until about 2-3 more weeks. Praying for...................a red run group kid!

This will be my first child and I can't tell you how excited my wife and I are. Let's just say that we didn't think we could have children so this is truly a miracle blessing from above

Just want to share the news with my Racing/DE buds
Congratulations! As someone who has been down the path of "can't have kids" I know just joyous and momentous this occasion is for you. I couldn't be happier for you.

You.have.no.idea.

And I would stop running down Minivans if I were you. If you have any more come along, you may well realize that the Minivan is the best tool for the job, unless of course you buy your cars more as a fashion statement or based upon what other people think.

Todd, I've seen your minivan. It's hardly a minivan. That thing is luxory on wheels. Instead of the best tool, I think I'll stick with a universal tool.
