Johan-

I just put Adam on a plane back to the west coast and he wanted me to be sure to add his thanks to you, Catherine and Willis for allowing him to be part of this years bash. Great party!

Cobra Clubbers-

While we are currently cobra-less, it didn't keep us from admiring all the beautiful reptiles and basking in the glorious noise they made. I always come away from track events with an appreciation of just how diverse yet compatible a bunch of folks seem to gather and have a great time with one another. We all certainly can commiserate with each other on the cost of tires and keeping these things running even if our rides are very different.

I had a great time with your family, Anne promises that she will attend any future event. I don't know if you and Johan are aware of it or not, but true "cup" cars are rear engined german things. Just thought you'd like to know.

All-

Beware the new hOOSIER so-4'S. The blowout we experienced on the 944 at 125 could have been ugly and I am hearing LOTS of similar tales from owners of these tires. While not all sizes are experiencing problems, we saw self-destruct on 245/45's and 285/30's within 3 heat cycles!
