I'm not sure when I am heading east, but I know for certain that I am going to try my damnedest to make it out to DGRR next year. I have already got the week prior to SS and the week following scheduled off of work, so I think there are going to be a few of us BAWers driving out to California, and making a few pit stops on the way to visit people along with once we are there.
Regardless, I can't wait to see this car in person. It just sucks that it may be later than sooner.
Oh and yeah, AJ showed me the pictures of your dogs when he was here. Those dogs are definitely big, but he also said that they were some of the best trained dogs he had ever been around. If I ever make it up that way I'll definitely let you know. I don't have any problems at all with big dogs.
