lol, Thanks Tim!

Here are a few progress pics. It was incredibly windy this past weekend, not much you can do when 50mph gusts can blow you over...

That looks like high quality work, man. It was very windy, although it was more calm in LA on Saturday.

After being inside the current GH and witnessing just how violent the wind can be, I'm back to building overkill :) But i was happy to see my design held up perfectly. I took a short video of it, will post that up soon.

I can attest to the winds there. 50 mph is just a tester. Darryl does a great job at working through the potential issues and pre-solving them.

It's a good time of year to come to Florida --- 24 Hours at Daytona, 12 Hours at Sebring, St. Pete Grand Prix... then there's that NASCAR stuff too...
