      Hi Guys,

      I just happen to be in the neighbourhood priot to and during the Aussie V8’s hitting town in May. So I will be in Austin the week prior to that and am hoping to drop in.

      I met Shawn (Turboman) here in Australia a couple of years back so would be great to catch up.

      Cheers Mel

      Mel & Jeanette,

      I hope you guys had a great time at COTA … I sure did, those V8 Supercars sound awesome!

      I have finally uploaded the pictures to google:

      It was very nice having you two around. I, too, hope to see you again someday.

      Ary.

      Thanks for the pics Ary.

      We will have lasting memories of that night. It was also great Shawn was able to make it back – I really appreciate that.

      Also thanks for the hats, I will wear it at our next club night and take a pic.

      We cannot get over how hospitable most people were in Austin. Even at the races, from people sitting around us to the officials. Some gave us souvenirs and the officials shook our hands and thanked us (most Aussies) as we left on the Sunday. Austin is certainly on our bucket list to return.

      I thought the (COTA) track was a little to wide for some action racing and not a lot of places for overtaking. Hopefully (next year) they will put some tyre walls a few places to make it more exciting,

      I’m back in the real worl at present and work is starting to get in my way frown but will post some of our slot stuff when I get a chance.

      Mel
