We had all better hope they get this swine flu thing under control or Texas may close it's borders and start killing all their pigs and prohibit kissing.

Frank we are counting on you to do a flu screening before anyone can attend a group Rally function. Will they have quick Swine flu tests strips by Oct?

I was planning on shipping the car to TX and flying in. But it may be safer just to drive the whole way.

No, but you can do a mouth swab and run the test by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and have a DNA result in 2 hours. Cost - about $75. My advice - stock up on the drug Tamiflu.

Already have two courses, but have four in the family. Got those during the SARs scare. Are the meds in short supply or readily available? Maybe I can get some "lab samples" from my neighbor an exec at Gilead.

Not in short supply YET, but if this persists, count on it.

I wanna go faaaaaaaaaast! Who wants to be on Supercars Exposed?

Would love to be on again. Let's hope it is at the Mile (maybe on Friday for a GT only event?). I will be rockin' the 1200 hp TT GT by then.

No kissing of pigs? Why that just ain't right down on the ranch here in Texas!

Country boy invites city boy friend to the farm. City boy says "what do y'all do for fun 'round here?" Country boy says "let me show you". He leads the way to the pig pen and grabs one and starts having his way with it. The city boy follows suit and gets a pig and tries and tries but just can't get it up. He yells at the country boy "I don't know what's wrong". The country boy replies "heck I know.....you picked the ugliest pig in the pen!" :biggrin:lol:rofl:willy

Just make sure to leave your laptop at home Frank. Half of the things you are into are not too legal here. I'll have your TX passport ready when you get here.

Kelvin, You are welcome to leave your car at my place for a few weeks:biggrin
I promise to keep her warm at night.

I will consider any reasonable proposition which involves bestowing her with more goodies than when originally delivered.

Dave, the Texas mile is during 16th-18th, so our event may conflict for some owners. :lol

Oh man, that sucks! :bang:bang

I don't know, maybe we can convince them to expand the Texas Mile to be a 4-day event with one day for nothing but Ford GTs? :confused

That would be great, but of course this is just wishful thinking. Only a magician could pull that off. It has about the same chance of happening as EP putting miles on a FGT!
