Thank you LA chapter...

John and Franco got many well-deserved thank you's at the event... but I thought I'd carry it over to here. You guys are masters at running an elite event... the attention to detail is spectacular... and your ability to foster a personality for the event that is absolutely amazing is truly special.

But I also wanted to extend that thank you to all the rest of the Louisiana crowd who worked so hard at putting it all together... but more than that... you guys provided the friendly, sharing touch that is what truly separates this event...

I've never been to an event of anywhere near that size where there was so much friendly banter... just a big group of good friends getting together to share their passion. And I suspect that it is that excess of passion that group has that makes it that way. What a great community.

I'd like to thank the Louisiana crowd by name... John, Jim, Dave, Joe, Kelly, John, Richard, ... but not being an insider to that group, I don't know all the people that need to be named... but I salute you all!!! What a great chapter you have going there in Louisiana!


Oh, and while I'm thanking people... I'd like to thank the Kansas contingent for coming down... I very much enjoyed your company... you added much to the personality of the event.

And then really the rest of the supercar field... amazingly nice guys...

And of course, as I mentioned in the other thread, the owners of the "Historical Cars"... thanks for bringing those show-stopper cars... and thanks for being so willing to share yourselves in addition to the cars.


And finally, let me thank all the F-chatters who attended... it felt like half the party was F-chatters... of course, I was probably a bit biased in that, since its the F-chatters that I knew the best. But it was great to not only meet, but have time to get to know several of you F-chatters much better.

Forza!
