Hi Guys

Anyhow looking to kit the cars out this morning which are amazing in their own right as we look like an FBI Convoy as one of them has blacked out windows (Will post a Picture soon) and at 1pm we are all going to see Tornado Alley (Sean Caseys Film) at DFW Imax before picking up Mark at around 5pm.

Let the Season Begin!

Paul S

Paul, is there any chance we can sit in the cars and watch to get the feeling of really being there?

Every now and again we will get Ian to rev the engine to add the sound effects.

I noticed on SPC this morning they haven't picked up the fact we are going to the IMAX, as they still maintain "Potential too low", how wrong they will be an afternoon of tornado's awaits.

I am just trying to work out who is arriving when and where on tour two. Here are the participants

PAUL SHERMAN - TEAM LEADER & DRIVER already there

IAN MICHAELWAITE - DRIVER already there

IAN CAMERON - GPS & TECHNICAL already there

TOM LYNCH - DRIVER & FORECASTER already there

ARRON HISCOX - (Smokes) arriving on 9th

CLARE HODGSON

RICHARD MOTT

ED - (chinomaniac) arriving on 9th

ED +1 GUEST - Chris Roberts arriving on 9th

MARTYN HOOTON arriving on 9th

PETER HULBERT - (gpspete) arriving on 9th -are you on the same 11.25 BA flight?

PAT CARTER arriving on the 9th- which flight Pat?

RICHARD COOKE - (cookie) arriving on the 10th

I think I am right in suggesting that Arron, Pete, Chris, Martyn and myself arrive on the 11.25 flight on the 9th.

Does anyone know which day and flight that Clare and Richard are on?

Chris , Martyn and I are staying nearer downtown Dallas at the Embassey Suites Dallas, Market Center, 2727 Stemmons Freeway which doesn't look to far from the Best Western.

Can't wait to meet up with everyone

Ed

I am flying with Continental on 9th leaving LRH at 09.20 to Houston then AA to DFW arrive 18.20 :drinks:

then meet up with Pat at BW Irvine ( found out that AA now charge $25 for checked in bags a few days back on domestic flights even though it wasnt implemented when i booked no exceptions

they must be copying Easyjet/Ryanair :diablo: )

Just a quick note

Seeing as Tour 1 has been pretty well Sunny and only 1 Supercell has been observed pretty much 2 Car loads of people are staying on to chase the changeover day, I think with what will be a pretty decent outbreak on Wednesday and Thursday Tour 2 guests would not begrudge them this opportunity.

I would like to be flexable and allow other early arriving Tour 2 guests the chance to follow us for the duration of Tuesday's chase and Arron has kindly stepped in to be the designated driver (Arron was very nearly going to do the driving job on this years tours before he got the GPS Job so you are in safe hands)

The plan will be to cut off the chase and return to DFW For Tuesday night and stay at the Best Western where Tour 2 then gets underway leaving in the morning for Wednesday and Thursday's risks which looks pretty significant.

Sunday also looking like a Classic Dryline day in Western Oklahoma :good:
