[Fot] I know it's not winter topic YET

[Robert Deanes]

well Bobby on another subject...at VIR this past week the "Texas" crowd
showed up in force with about 10 or more racers, they had a company put up
a canopy that was at least 100 by 50 feet and the group surrounded it like
"cowboys"...all backed up to the canopy, they had a great gruop of people
and said that they knew you. We laughed that the" Texas crowd" does it
bigger...and it was...the biggest canopy that I have ever seen ! Great
group of racers and more than hospitable...tried to keep me there drinking
and eating. Keep your chin up and your foot on the pedal...take care.
