    I just wanted to say thanks to Andreas for setting up the event. I had a blast and got to meet a lot of you guys. I enjoyed seeing all the F-cars and the lotus. I also wanted to apologize if I upset anyone during the event. I was not attempting to bump anyone at any time and even let a few people pass me when I thought I cut it close. Again if anyone got upset at my driving, I apologize because I was truely trying to drive as clean as possible. Did not mean to step on anyone's feet as it was my first time meeting most of you guys. Anyways, I had a blast and I am looking foward to meeting up with you guys in the future. I am working on setting up a Gingerman open track day and as soon as things are finalized I will do post the information on here for the FOC guys.

    Yes,another great Karting Event. Thank-You Uncle Andreas for setting it all up. I say "Uncle",as,Mr. Andreas spoils my little guy with cars when he sees him. Frankies adopted Uncle....:) And,again,Frankie says Thank-You VERY MUCH for the Rubens 2004. He's been wanting that one....:) (I thank you,too....:) )

    And,it was really great seeing everyone again after the long Winter. First day of Spring is Tomorrow,and we have alot of great Drives and stuff planned for all season. We plan alot of things,so that if you cannot make it to one,hopefully you can make it to another. Not pushing it....just wanna make alot of events available for everyone to enjoy. And,I sincerely hope that you Do take advantage of our planning and come along. We are also always open for suggestions...This is a Club,and everyones Voice and Opinion DOES Matter....:)

    And,I am hoping to see alot of everyone come out and play with us this Year. We really do have a great group here. And,the Comaraderie is Fantastic!

    And,I hope that all of the "new guys" like what they see....These are planned for `you...and us...and everyone... to get together and have some fun...:)

    Looking forward to a great season. And,again,Thank Andreas for setting up a great Kick Off to the Season! Forza Ferrari!

    And,if anyone can think of a place where we can meet and watch the Race tomorrow,all together. It doesn't start until 11:30AM.....:) Please post. Bars may be hard,with the Basketball going on....

    LOL! Thats exactly what my son said...:)

    Maybe,on an F1 Race Sunday when we don't have anything else planned. We can tape the F1 Race. Bring it there and watch the Race. Eat Lunch. Then,do a little Racing of our own....? Just an idea....:)

    It was great meeting everyone and putting faces to screen names. Thank you Andreas for letting me race when a spot opened up. It was a great time and i agree we should do it again before next year. Thanks Mike for the ride in your lotus, it was a blast (but too short! lol) See everyone soon!

    Hey mike sorry I couldnt get that sound clip. I had to make it out to work by 5, but I am willing to meet up with the S2000 or both race cars to help out with your project. Just let me know when you are free and maybe we can arrange something.

    Thanks Andreas, I wasn't sure how they were going to turn out.

    It was really difficult for me, and I hope some of the new people didn't find me strange, as sometimes I have to hold my head in a rather strange position in order to see them with my right eye.

    To those of you I know, and may not have acknowledged, please forgive me.

    I'm still especially having trouble adjusting to indoor lighting conditions. If I didn't acknowledge you, it's not that I was ignoring you.

    Oh........Billiam, even though I don't see so well anymore, I did notice that it's time for you to see your barber again.

    Sheesh, do I still have to tell you everytime!! ;)

    Okay, Andreas--Again, thanks for setting this up. It's hard not to have fun at an event like this, and I'm all for doing more of it. Hopefully I'll get to know a few of you better at some future events. Looks like my summer will be a little more open this year. And Frank, don't forget--Cubs game.

    Here are the pictures my wife Tiffany took. Kind of tough lighting conditions, so not all turned out perfectly.
