John says "After twenty years in communications now in Law Enforcement, my wife and I are brand new Texans and damn proud of it(am I going to be fined for saying that). We are very happy to live in this great state although the first time I have missed a PIR race since 1992 we are gonna make it next year we have alot of great people we meet to have a great time with. My wife and myself are very busy with our new house but it is worth it. I am a Chevy man all the way and have been so since 1985, dig it."
