     Houston Region autoxes every month.  We've already had two 
events this year at our cool new event site.  The Texas A&M SCC had 
one event this year (another this weekend) and the Austin Spokes 
group has had at least one event if not two this year.  The local 
Porsche club had an event last weekend.  They will do a high-speed 
drivers education (wink wink) event at Texas World Speedway this 
weekend.  Texas Region is coming out of their two month hibernation 
(grin) this weekend.
     Autox in the south is great.  The summers are hot but I can do 
more events in the spring than some folks do all YEAR.  I once did 13 
events between January and May.  Doesn't Detroit Region start in May 
or late April?  No slam intended.  They can't help the weather.
     It's currently 69 degrees in Friendswood (south of Houston).  My 
parents are from Milwaukee.  They said fooey on snow and have lived 
in CA, LA, and TX since I was an infant.  Wise folks!  :-)  You can 
get a sunburn at January and December events here in Texas.

I feel rusty if I don't autox for 5-6 weeks.  I feel sorry for 
snow-bound folks.
