Track day North Report

[sukchew at cox.net (Chuck Blue)]

Well, At least you have memories of a fun weekend.For those of us far away, 
out memories are God! it was hot.It sound like everyone had a great time. 
Maybe some day I can make the trip for an event North of the Border or a 
East coast trip.I would like to see more of the watercooled world than is 
available in Texas.There are only a couple of watercooled events around 
here.
   In the past I have hosted a BBQ/cruise for the Texas Scirocco team.I may 
have to try and get that started up again.I think the most Sciroccos we have 
got together has been 9.The texas team has been very quite of late. Patrick 
and Brian have be inactive.I guess it's time to rattle their cage.
 enough vent,
Later
ole blue
