GlynMeek
Glyn, Since you are involved or at least know the people at the track what do you think their response would be to slow pace cars laps (under 30 MPH)? I totally understand and agreed 100%, the reason they don't want people on their track with unknown experience. But what I think most are asking for is a tour of the place. You never know who the customer is until they buy, good opportunity to show their product. If you would like for me to call, I'll be happy to talk to anyone. BTW did you ever work at Dell? Maybe the head of IT. db

OMG...Don Barnes! Is this THE Don Barnes who was also at Dell??????
YES, I was Dell's first real CIO from 1989 through about 1992 when that w@nker Tom Thomas arrived...LOL. Bill Dolahite, who owns the track, was the guy who drove the Dell racecar during the mid 90s and then went on to drive the Compaq racecar, and then drove for "Coach", Craig T Nelson!
Make sure we find one another. When will you be there on Thursday?

Larry count me in on the parade lap, things are getting down to the wire and may not be able to go full throttle with this new motor and the break in period I need to have, plus KCM still needs to dyno tune her to make sure everything is right after a couplehundred miles

Guys...a full scale Driving Event next year would be perfect...! What a nice addition to your schedule...! I surely hope you can pull this off...I'd sure be interested in it, and I know others would, too! You've got the right idea here, Glyn...
Sign me up for the DE next year...and I'll certainly participate in a drive around this year, too... but...ah...who's got a car that'll stay under 30 mph on ANY track...? Certainly not #770...

BwaaaHAHAHAHAHA!
You may be right, Don....but if I have to get on the sidewalk to hit that apex, then that's just what has to be done...
I even apex turns with the grocery cart when we go grocery shopping! My wife hates it when I go shopping with her...
...just like I planned it....

I have been well. Very busy with family and work. Boys are now 6 and almost 4. Christie and the boys will be around on Friday and Saturday in Austin.
As far the car goes... I did recently buy another car, it's a '69 Mustang, not a Cobra. Needed something with a backseat. I am planning on driving it to Austin on Thursday. Since it has a Keith Craft motor, it's heart is Cobra. I hope I can at least follow the pack on Saturday.

Well Tice keeps bring all kinds of other things and we keep letting him play. But not get too close. At least you've got the Keith Craft motor. In my mind, that trumps whatever that GT500 has in it.  |

New Superformance Dealer - Austin
This is my 1st year attending the TCC Austin Spring Meet. I am expanding my Superformance Dealership from Colorado to the Austin area. I absolutely love this area. I will have a couple SPF MKIII's with me. One of which is being completed in Colorado right now w/ one of Shelby's NEW Aluminum Windsor blocks and should be here by Saturday.
Please introduce yourself: I don't know any local car people yet.
Look for the "427 Legends" - "Legendary Motorsport" trailer.
