    AI/CMC Texas History - AKA, the Texas V8 Racing Way Back Machine

    Several weeks back, I was very saddened to learn of Mitch Warren's passing. Mitch and I had our differences from time to time, but, he was a damn good guy. And, a good racer. Anyone seen his cat??

    It got me thinking back to when AI/CMC first started in Texas, and made me all nostalgic and verklempt. Thinking lead to digging through digital archives.....

    I'm a digital packrat, a byproduct of my work. For example, I have work email dating back to 1998. Due to my pack-rat-ish nature, I also have images, race writeups, etc, going back to when AI/CMC Texas first got started. As I recall, our very first AI/CMC race was summer 2003 (someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), but, unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from that event.

    However, I do have images and race writeups from 2004-2008. I don't have any Texas stuff after 2008, as that's when I hauled my racing shit to CA for what was supposed to be a temporary gig that became permanent.

    I've embarked on a little side project - documenting our racing history. Below is a link to what I have from the 2004 season, as well as the 2004 Banquet held 30 Oct @ LMR in Waco, TX. There are likely duplicate images - all I did was grab EVERYTHING I HAD, dumped it to a folder, and converted it.

    So far, the only season I've done is 2004. If folks are interested in the other seasons I have, let me know, and I'll work on getting them done.

    Hope you folks like it.
