Default Wakey, Wakey - it's next year!

Come on guys - too much seafood, wine, and roast beast? Coming on 2 weeks without any activity. Do you need a chart/graph? I'll do what it takes...



in the absence of facts, I can only surmise:

1. Phil is disassembling something, and re-torquing by sight.
2. Dwane is picking a racing suit that fits just right and that has Swagger.
3. Ian is sequestered and in self-exile reading Ross Bentleys's DE instructor manual - for the 3rd time this week.
4. Alain is plotting 944 Club Race domination in 2014. While on a conference call. With a second call on hold. In a movie theater.

Let's have a great 2014 - looking forward to seeing y'all on track soon.

Cheers

Matt

That's the spirit Matt !!!

Actually i'm preparing my Winter projects for that "Martini Olive Green 944 " which you guys will see at the first DE in May ... parts are coming in !
Thinking about having a Felipe garage "car christening "get together in March for all you boys.I recently discovered that Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey is real sweeeeeet stuff and would make a great addition to our RennSpoon gatherings

Dwane must have gotten his red OMP suit by now ...
Ian has gone MIA
Alain is getting cheater parts installed on his 944 (hidden bluetooth controlled micro supercharger )
Spyro is installed my Sparco Halo seat in his 944
Ryan is hopefully,finally, buying a new helmet
Derek is watching "Stig" episode reruns on Top Gear

Cheers gang !

Discovered a new cheese over the holidays...It's got control of me...all I want to do is drink wine and eat cheese.
Maybe "the man" is in hiding preparing a race car for this year?!

Emmm... Tête de Moine cheese.
It got control of me too! It even inspired my hair styling.
You should try it. (The cheese. And the hair cut too, while at it!)

Matt, I am installing a heads-up display on my 944 SP2. No more bad phone connections due to weak cell coverage on tracks in remote areas. Now I can text and trail-brake at the same time.

A healthy New Year to all.

Hey Phil,

Your suspension package should be ready very soon!!! I nearly have all my parts and my mechanic will be able to start working on my car soon.

Not a single day of training and lots of wine, cheese, foie gras... I'm really looking forward to back to work again

Since the trailer/camper I usually use is too big to fit near the RennSpoon gang based on Phil's and/or Dwane's paddoc spacing I will be using a smaller 24 foot one this year.

I will be brining a genny to make toast and coffee mainly but also to offer up power to the RennSpoon gang.

You guys do such a great job at our events with the BBQing and keeping the cars ready for the sessions. It brings back fond memories of when I started doing DE... Wow it will be 10 years this May!

Please keep a spot to fit my little enclosed trailer around you guys so that you can use it to put things in over night etc.

See ya in May!

We always have a spot for good company!
Definitely going to move back to the end of the paddock next season....too much traffic near the gate.

The Jack D sounds intriguing!
I'm a fan of Malt Whiskeys, but I can always learn from a younger group of Black trackies!

The skiing is great, and when visiting Danny Lachance for a ski tuning, I always roll down the hill to see our sleeping playground.
Signed up for a Glen experience May 7/8 with Hudson Valley guys.
Jumpin' outta my skin in anticipation.
