I'll be checking the PO box today, Super Bowl Sunday, for registrations and if any are in my box will do an update on the roster today.
I'm heading over to Grant's neck of the woods for a week, will be working a shutdown at an insulation plant over there, so...
After today, no further updates to the roster until next weekend...
I still have to do confirmations back to folks from #51 to the end of the list too.
Please bare with me... No adjustment of your set is neccesary.

Hey Joanne,

Did Kelly ever call Ralph and pursue this?

Scott G.

Hey Scott,

No, she wasn't able to. One of the reasons she was able to attend the Death Valley gathering was because they were slow at her work and they let her have the time off. It was still slow when she returned and they didn't call her in to work so she started looking for another job.

The good news is she found a job with the state, the bad news is that she didn't work for a few weeks and the bills started piling up. She can't take any vacation for 6 months so she's not even sure if she'll be able to make it to the IRG. It will be worth it in the long run for her though.

How are things down in the Valley of the Sun? Have all the Super Bowl crazies left town? Hopefully they left a lot of money in town when they went back home. (That's the Vegas in me talking).

Hey Joanne,

Now that the Super Bowl, FBR Open, and Barrett Jackson Auction are done, alcohol consumption is down and it's safe to hit the streets again. Quite a sequence of events!

I'm glad things are working out for Kelly in the end with the job situation. I hope she is coming to IRG 2.0? It'd be nice to see her again. Too bad she couldn't pick that teardrop up. With her mechanical skills and what she has already done with her Mustang, I was expecting to see that teardrop completely refurbished at IRG 2.0!

No worries though. As I mentioned, Ralph will be liquidating his thousand car inventory soon and you might be able to get a better deal on the tear anyway - so don't throw away his number.

Look forward to seeing you and meeting so many others at IRG 2.0!

I am thrilled to see Roly and Ollie on the list, I see Roly as a American Hero. The first time I saw his Tear My jaw dropped, his craftsman ship is second to none. I see alot of people on that list that I know and my wife and I are looking forward to a great time with friends.
Thanks Joanne and Dean for what you do to make the IRG what it's turned out to be. The first was fantastic and it looks like the 2nd will be as well.

We get to go skinny dipping in the river this year?


P.S. Just for you Dean. It looks good that I'll have the truck up there this year.

[Dean in Eureka, CA]

Gage,
If it works out to do that, you oughta consider entering it in the big car show that's happening right down the road.
You could always leave the big ass trophy here, to save on gas on the return trip home...

What???
Ya mean you didn't go skinny dippin' last time???

You are such a tease.

[The Teardrop Nanny]

Hi Deano,

Did you tell me the ??, or did I miss something too?? Is it what I think it might be, or is it the other that I believe might happen.

Mama Cita TDN,
Now I'm confused.
Of course I told you... but I'm still waiting on word as to not jump the gun and Yes, I can keep a secret and not ruin a surprize.

Jim,
I'm not a tease, just wanted all to know that something cool is gonna happen, even though I can't say what yet... It'll all make sense when I get a green light to talk about it.

Other News...
