List,

Just a quick note.  I'm back at home in Tampa tonight after my cross-country

trek to Laguna Seca.  I traveled for 22 days, and covered 6,310 miles.  Half

that mileage was after I smacked the wall.  I think that's a tribute to the

durability of the Miata.  It performed flawlessly all the way home.  I had a

great time, and met a lot of really super people.  It's so nice to be able

to put faces and voices with many of the names that I see on the list.  I

wish we had been able to spend more time getting to know each other.  The

next time you see a race on TV from Laguna Seca, look for my red splat on

the wall outside turn 5.  Spider is now among the ranks of the world's elite

race cars, having "left an impression" at perhaps the finest race track in

the world.



I browsed through the archives a bit tonight to see what I'd missed and

there were many kind words about my mishap at Laguna Seca.  I especially

enjoyed Eric Amador's recounting of the day.

I realized that I have been remiss in conveying a couple thanks...

First, to Aaron.  You made possible for me an experience of a lifetime.  You

provided me with the catalyst to take a big chance and do something I would

not normally have done. They say that if you want to be a great person, you

must surround yourself with great people.  That is what I have done, and I

am better off for it.  Thanks a million, Aaron.  You are a great person.

 sorry for the overuse of the word "great")



Second, to Percy.  Thanks for the cool MOMO sunglasses.  Sorry I didn't get

to thank you in person.  I can't wear them to drive until I get contact

lenses, but they look fabulous.



That's it for now.  I'll be looking for the best body and paint shop in town

tomorrow.



I'm still off the list, so if anyone want's to reply, send a copy to me

directly.
