And as always, thanks to you Pacemaker and your Mrs. - a class act all the way, both of you.
The wedding as well as Sunday Service are much appreciated.

But I should have worn my helmet on Sunday....

We just got back from our first Dragon, and wanted to say what a great time we had. 2500 miles,mostly in rain but well worth it. We left monday morning around 8 and drove the Dragon and never saw another car. That was a blast. Thanks to Pacemaker, Pizza, and texas-t for leading us on our runs. We met a some new friends and look forward to going back.

Good to run with you, JoeJet. I am in MO and iwll be in Tulsa next week.

Great news on Jim's recovery!

Lookit this kid go:

He's from Wisconsin, we stopped and talked to him at the far end - he's about half my age. I had to shake his hand, never seen anyone drive a line like that at those speeds - he never touched the yellow or white lines - EVER!

Terri and I want to thank everyone that came to the wedding. Your support and attendance meant a lot to us. Thank you for making our day special. Also, we are looking for Dennis and Deb, if anyone has contact information for them, please let us know.

Barbara and Terry

Thanks, but here is one I'm more proud of - now I know why Gary liked "Chasing Gary" so much - it's fun to watch yourself! Hit the little icon and watch this in HD if you have the bandwidth, Phil (DirtysouthSRT) is the camera car and Ibedoughboy is behind him in his Z3. The F15 sound is phil's supercharger!


13 1/2 minutes from the overlook to the state line fence - not sportbike fast, but a good run!

NOTICE THE TRAFFIC - THERE IS NONE! This is reason to:


1) Go to the SPRING Dragon
2) Get there on Thursday so you can enjoy Friday before the mob gets there!


Thanks you, late spring, for the fact it snowed the weekend before and this kept some traffic away! ! ! ! ! ! !

Nice Mark! Do you have the rear facing video?

BTW, I'm in driving a Z4 not a Z3. I really hope to make it to the fall dragon. Depends on the job situation.
