Snake Rattle and Roll, thanks

[Dream Master]

Thanks to everybody for coming and making this a truly memorable event. I had a hard time doing anything Sunday morning with everyone stopping to thank me, and all the staff that helped.

I want to thank Don Barnes again. Jeez, what a guy. He loaded up that massive rig and drove 12 hours by himself. Shows up with a rolling party production complete with cases of beer, drinks, coolers, tables, chairs, sound system w/ P.A., 20x40 tent.
What a great guy, THANKS DB, AND Panoz Driving School, Texas Motor Speedway.

A big thanks for Ronnie Kruger, CEO of Superformance International for attending and giving a great entertaining speech at the Banquet.

Also big thanks to Freddie Rice, Terry Lee, Eric Brown and others??? for organizing our Thursday afternoon cookout. Smoked Memphis ribs, some serious Focasia (sp?) bread with killer veggies, and BBQ beans.......WOW! and Adult beverages, too.

Our local Superformance help....Don and Judy Clement, Donald and Kathy Ducote, Louis Menesses, and Robin Clement. My honey Connie, Linda Reed, NIkki and Eukie Gaines, and Melissa and Nathanial Barras. GREAT JOB, WELL DONE, THANKS.

I was too busy to take many Digital stills, (I did manage to get some good video stuff), so If anyone has any good stills, please e-mail me one or tow, or post some. There was a guy, Fred, in the campground that does photography for the NHRA, he caught us as we departed Saturday morning, and he is going to send me a CD. He was blown away by the set up had worked out, combining the shaded parking for our cars with the lagoon and adjacent RV set up for cooking and dining.

Thanks again to all who made it, and to all the sponsors like, Panoz Racing School, Roush Racing, Southern Automotive, RDI, Raceparts Distribution, Inc, Napa Auto Parts, Advantage Auto Parts, Olthoff Racing, and all the others. No one left without a door prize.

Doug I had a great time. Thanks very much for the SPF loaner on Saturday. Appreciate your letting me drive my Corvette on Friday till it crapped out. It doesn't like slow, stop and go traffic.

You put on a really neat event and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I know Jay had a good time till he ran out of his and my money.

Let's do it again next year.

Keith

PS: Jay and I had an accident at the intersection of Hwy 43 and I10 but the report on that belongs on a different thread.
