AOL is a POS FTP server - but some pics of this Weekend's Texas Rally

I must say I was impressed by the turn out. Over the course of the day as
Nissan pilots came and went, I bet we had 30+ cars. I counted over 20 cars on
three different occasions. The sign in sheet that I put out had 28 names, so
I bet I still missed a few folks.

We had folks from Dallas / Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, and even
a trailed DET from New Orleans (that an easy 10 hour haul!). Big thanks to
Vince McCurley and Throttle Position Motorsports for hosting the event, and
serving up a ton of great Bar-B-Que and cold sodas.

I'm sure others will chime in with stories, but it was a great blend of old
and new faces. Some former Rally members brought new rides (2 Subie WRXs,
Honda, CLK). Some coudn't help crawling under a car and turning a wrench
(Bruce Hearn), or pulling off a valve cover (Marc Hernadez).

Grover Pickering, George Roffe, Jim Fancher (and Marc Hernandez and Molly? as
passengers) got to take the CLK55 out for some heavy right footed action -
wheeee!

Though we hd overcast skies all day long, we all managed to get sunburn (it
is a TX Rally tradition I guess). The day ended in a trip to the Chilis in
Lewisville at 6:30 for drinks and dinner.

That's a quick recap - others feel free to jump in!
