The fact that you can lay down laps in the 1:21's with under 200 HP at the wheels is just awesome.

Running lean is no bueno! Glad you got that sorted out, Rob!


PrincesS is now definitely leaving the state Saturday. Thank you all for helping me at various times with her, or my trailer, or my psyche.

Tracks all over will be waiting for you in the future when you get another race car.

Thanks for the hospitality of the Red Roof Inn!

I am sure we will see you back out there soone rather than later.

I know we all hate to see PrincesS decommissioned.

Tracks all over will be waiting for you in the future with lots of qwik-dry and extra armco when you get another race car.
Thanks, Pete.

Wow, George! Those Sebring shots are old. Thanks a bunch!



Lou, Ron, Pete, George, Bill, Alison, Rob, Matt, Calvin, Mani, Cale, Jim, Barrie, Keith, David, Oleg, Eric & John(HC), Eric Wong(GTS), the BMW guys(Scott, Joey, Mike,), the TT guys that paddocked next to us(mostly at SP), Felton and the entire NASA MA crew, and countless others that I'm forgetting(and feel badly about it), THANK YOU for making my weekends at the track all the more memorable. Yes, I always wanted to 'win" or do well, but in the end I've realized, truly appreciated, what it meant to have all of you around during the day, but even moreso at day's end when we all grin and reflect on how lucky we all were/are to have done and are doing something that so few people do in their lifetimes: we have lived. We have pushed ourselves. We have experienced that rush and been able to talk about it with others who do understand.

Cliche' I know, but we don't fully appreciate what we have until it's gone. Felt that way when I lost my dad in '04. Felt that gravity of what we do when Cale was taken from us and the possibility of it happening again when the STi guy flipped beyond the wall the very next year in T1 at SP. And now.

August 10 would've made 9 years owning PrincesS, her only owner. Thank you, PrincesS and all those that I have come in contact with through my ownership. Your impact in my life may never be truly conveyed to you, but make no mistake, the mark is more permanent than any ink or tattoo. More lasting than time itself.

Thank you again.
