Don,

We really had a great time. 40 some dealership F&I and Service Managers were there for the school and 30 Lap program. Then at the end we all took a 165 MPH ride for 4 or 5 laps in a group of 8 or 10 cars. What a rush this was. Driving and passing at 150 MPH was unbeleivable.

Ford went all out with dinner and cocktail party last night up in the Speedway Club then the event today with lunch, refreshments and a real cool Racing Jacket/Texas Speedway hats for all participates. Our National Extended Service Plan (ESP) Sales Manager was here to participate and he loved it. He's considering a National incentive with this being one of the rewards. He wants to do a 3 day reward event and I suggested we do the NASCAR School, Your drving school and a day of golf. We can put them all up at the Four Seasons in Las Colinas. One question he asked was, could be get the NASCARs rebadged to Fords? I'll see him in the am and tell him you could provide 2005 Mustangs for you school!

There were a couple of jokes about the GM products but mostly came from the group the the school organizers and/or drivers. They were really great!
