Shameless self promotion - My garage featured in Hemmings

Pg. 18 in Hemmings Motor News, on news stands now. Good to see they used one of the 911 pics I sent them:

Congratulations! That is so COOL!

The pics look small on the scanned page. Can you post bigger pics?

MSR at its finest. Can I crash next time I go to the track?

Very nice! MSR Cresson may be the best track in Texas. Unfortunately I've only run it in the kart, so Oak Hill is still my favorite .

I hope to get the 930 up there this year after I get it sorted out.

Thanks everyone. Should you ever make it to MSR-Cresson be sure to drop by, introduce yourself, and share a cold one with me. This guy did:

Your balcony view:



My first kart race on that track was in the rain and I came through the fastest turn on the track (the turn on the right in the pic) and proceeded to do a nice pirouette through the turn. Luckily I didn't hit anyone, I kept it running, and I didn't stall . That's got to be the slickest wet track I've ever driven on.

No doubt about that! Did you keep it on the track? I have not seen karts out there is a while, I used to enjoy watching them. Its truly amazing the laps times they could put down.

By the way, the red haired guy in the pic above is Patrick Long.
