Default Hurricane Warning issued for Texas - HM2008 will be ours!

So this past Friday night Anneliese and I were at our favorite local Mexican restaurante
enjoying some fajitas and coronaritas on the back patio. After a few rounds and plenty
of open minded discussion we made the decision - yep, its time

This morning I mailed the first check to Hurricane Motorsports. In about a month I'll be
headed with a trailer northbound on I-35, then bring it back home to Texas and start the
build process!

Steve, Mike and Dusty at Hurricane have been absolutely fantastic to work with, and
I can't wait to get started. I'm sure I will have hundreds of questions along the way,
so I expect my post count will increase exponentially ...

This has been a long time coming, let the adventure begin !

Welcome to the family! You should do a build thread to show the process.
