Yes, I know Bill well! We went through POC racing school together and he has been getting progressively faster in his cream Boxster (a color that I love). He out qualified me yesterday but I was able to get past him at the start. He did a great job of keeping close the rest f the race. Bill is a good racer and very consistent driver.

I didn't get to meet Karen, but I will keep an eye out for her in the future.

Small world huh? All the Vogels are great people. Have you seen his R8 GT3 racecar that he picked up?

Thanks, I was sure that it was named something more sophisticated than "cream"! I really do like that color a lot.

By the way, your new Spec Boxster was looking pretty spiffy too! Post up some pics in the racing section.
