I want to briefly thank a few people since DavidN was nice enough to let me use one of his many computers here in Texas country.

I want to thank Mike Krehel for his support on this board and at Texas. He is down to earth and a person who is real all the way. He is a very humble man and enjoyed watching him run at the track. I was a bit nervous to meet him though. Mike so sorry if I was nervous. I wanted to talk to you more but with so much activity going on, it was hard to stay focused on one thing. Thank you Mike for making the expense at this event. I really enjoyed your hospitality and thank you for welcoming me into this event. It was a pleasure.

I want to thank GaryC for his support and helping me get lower airfare tickets and for hooking me up with PaulR and DavidN. I've heard alot of crazy stories about Gary but deep down the DUDE is GREAT! Just to let you know what kind of guy Gary is, as we drove off from Horse Shoe Bay Resort I needed to find a teller machine because I had run out of cash. As we got on the road, I saw a Wells Fargo go by and told Gary to turn around so I could get some cash. His response was, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT MAN, I GOT MONEY". I said to myself .... WOW!!

I want to thank PaulR and his wife for their hospitality and letting me sleep in their beautiful home. They are very hospitable couple. I want to also thank them for allowing me to hitch a ride with them every so often through out this event. Paul and his wife are fun people to hang out with.

I want to thank DavidN for all his hospitality and hard work and never realized how HUGE of a fan he is for the Plymouth Prowler Roadster. He never stops and is willing to help out no matter what!! David has a huge selection of limo's here and they are AWESOME. He had one of his limo's pick me up at the Airport here in Texas and got to tell you I thought I had hit the lottery. I had only dreamed of one day being picked up by those guys with black suits and holding a sign up with your name on it. THAT WAS COOL !!! I got a picture of that by the way ... David coordinated so many things that I'm not sure how to detail all of them. From what I saw and I know it was not everything, he did shirts, limo support, keeping the prowler group together as we headed to different destinations, bought lunch a few times for us and gave me some words of wisdom on how not to sweet the small things. Thank David!!

I want to thank Bob from Paxton for allowing me to ride with him in his BIG RIG towing the Paxton Cat and letting me know some of his secrets how much horsepower he was making before getting to the event. They have an AWESOME combination and I'm very happy with what they have done for the Plymouth Prowler Roadster. I drove their CAT and it has some serious torque. Bob had some trouble hooking all that power on the track and kept smoking the tires. On this one particular run he smoked 1st gear and 2nd gear. The Paxton Cat will be in the 12.15's soon. I can't wait to get that setup on my CAT. They also came up with a new exhaust system that I will change too. The CAT sounds very Healthy.

I want to thank CJ for allowing me to take pictures of her. I told her I really wanted to make her a banner but needed some facial shots of her and a special shot for a morphing sequence. She was nice enough to allow me to take a few pics. Thank You CJ!!

I also want to thank the rest of the Prowler Fans here in Texas. I had enthusisasts that came up to me and would say, "You must be Dan Peņa". This almost got to my head but kept it under control .... I think ?? I had a few others in the TMS event that said "You must be the infamous Dan Peņa" ... I said ... WOOOAAA ... "INFOMOUS DAN PENA???".

I have to stop now because PaulR is telling me we have to go out to Dinner. It is so funny because PaulR, CJ and Dan Pena are here in DavidN's business using his computers to post all these threads. We finish posting and then we read each others posts and critique them.

I've never felt so much at home being so far away from home. The atmosphere is down to earth and felt severally welcomed here in TEXAS country. I will definitely do this again!!

Later!!!
