Great pics.. I was there--Gosh almighty was it loud. Not too many crashes---1 guy who did mess up his car pretty bad was Jay Matus in his 996 during practice for a charity race sponserd by MSR Houston. Jay owns the tx region of Nasa--just 1 less guy I have to try and beat next weekend @TWS NASA race.

Didn't get to see the MSR race but the MX5 cup race after ALMS had some pretty nice ones. One guy nailed the wall and they finally made him retire when his door wouldn't stay shut on the left turns Saw one of the 911's in the ALMS race spin out and tap a tire wall right next to me. I was squatting at the entry to the front straight and I heard a screech next thing I looked up and a 2500 pound race car was coming straight for me backwards.

I didn't know Saini won the MX-5 Cup Race...cool. For those who don't know, he won BS Nationals in an S2000 a few yrs back. Or atleast I think he did, lol.

We had a great time! Sorry we didn't get to spend more time with the other DFW folks, but we were moving around a lot.

While someone (clovis) was putting Discount Tire decals on my company truck, I was getting pictures of and autographs from Bourdais and Rahall at Winner's Circle. The decal peeled off easily, the autographs are permanent

The MX5 race was the best racing of the weekend in my humble opinion.

majik took some great pics, and I'm sure they'll be posted somewhere soon.

I know of the decal in question...but sorry, it wasn't me.

Sounds like everyone had a great time in Houston. Sorry I missed it.

I can see myself treating this like a trip to ben and Jerrys...

Um.... I'll have a sample of the blonde in the last pic please... Oh, can I also try both brunettes about 6 pictures up please?

Then i'd leave without actually ordering
