"See all of you at ARRC...That's an order". -Mac Spikes
Over the years, I know a whole lot of you had the opportunity to meet Mac Spikes in person, or possibly on this (and many other sites) via his username IPRESS. If you met Mac there's a pretty good chance you also met at least one of his crew - his girls - at the same time.
Mac lost a long, hard battle with cancer late last year, but not before he was able to attend one last instance of one of his favorite races, the ARRC. He also put in a few requests for his pit crew to carry out....one of which was to hold a party for his race buddies.
His girls are organizing a celebration for Saturday night at this year's ARRC....I think the following email from one of his daughters (Shelley) says it best:

I came across an old email the other day of Dad's recap from MAM last August and in closing he said "See all of you at ARRC...That's an order" and come hell or high water he did. The Spikes girls are carrying on the tradition and carrying out one of Dad's requests...a Texas size BIG race shindig for all his friends at one of his favorite races of the year.
Please join us on Saturday for an evening of food, fun and good friends to remember Mac. Bring your best stories and your appetite. We are looking forward to seeing you!
There will be an all female pit crew for hire, can change tires but specializes in looking good. If you have to ask how much you can't afford them.
We are trying to get word out to as many friends as possible. Please post this on MSG boards and forward this e-mail to friends you see missing...and we better, "See all of you at ARRC...That's an order". -Mac Spikes
The party is planned for our paddock spot - hopefully you can locate it by looking for the yellow and blue E36 BMW, but if that doesn't make the trip you should look for this Miata instead.
