Just a quick comment before an obligatory plug but I just wanted to say that all of the people we have met so for on our two recent trips to TWS have been great.
And the more you get to know them, the more you get to liking them.

Well, most of the time.

That's got to be quite a haul, but I'm glad you guys plan on coming back. I still can't believe Eon is your son. Were you like, in junior high when he was born, or are you just an ageless wonder? (cuz I KNOW it doesn't come the local cuisine.)
T, I'll be at MSR in April as well, but I do have the Mardi Gras Sept. event on my calendar!
It was fun running with you guys. I remember Greg and I were running close for a while when we were held up in some traffic in one of the early sessions Saturday. Man the track was slippery on those BFGs in the damp lol. Fortunately, Sunday we had that awesome extended final session, it was pretty much 100% dry and the car felt really good.
Russell, I can't wait to go back! It is quite a haul, but well worth the trip to run at TWS. I look forward to seeing you in September at NPR, try to talk some others into a caravan
I rode with him on your first DE to TWS, I could have done a lot more with him if it weren't for the loud exhaust. We debriefed after the run but being able to have him hear me in car would have been nicer. I have a 944 and could show him some different things that would make him much faster in it. It was also his first time out there and I was really just observiing to make sure he was safe since he didn't have much experience there.
He did very well driving and was very safe btw.
It was kind of weird finding the line on such a big track coming from our local NPR, but I learned the most from West driving the car. If you want to take it out so I can ride and observe on our next trip to TWS that would be awesome! I think I learn fastest from watching anyway. It would be good to get some feedback on how the car handles from someone who races one too. Exhaust?!?!?! What exhaust???
Chris, I have full size images that I'd be happy to send. I may have others too, I'll take a look. The one problem I had was that the rain was throwing off the focus on my 300mm lens so a bunch of them are slightly (to very) out of focus. Clearly I not only need to learn to drive in the rain, but also take pictures in the rain!
Greg, if you can find the images of my car, I would love to get a copy. Let me know. Great seeing you and meeting your son last weekend.

Hmm, I think you might be onto something with that last bit, strange enough as it might seem, I don't do most of the local cuisine. I was raised in Avoyelles Parish...., and trust me on this, it doesn't get any more "cajun" than there.
The town I'm from is the 'Cochon de Lait Capital of the World'. (that's open fired roast pig for those who don't know any French.... )
If you have ever met Doc Phil, who raced the car I was DE'ing and who also like me, doesn't do most of the cuisine.....I don't think you would believe that he is in his early 60's.
Anyways, I think that was a compliment....so, thanks..

Great, the economy isn't really showing any bad signs around here but if it were to, our CR may be in doubt but other less costly to put on events will be ok. What I'm hinting is....don't wait until November.
