    No shortage of tools required in the pits either. Sawzalls work well in a pinch.

    This was something we had at TWS this past time. At midnight, my father started having chest pains. We went up to the paddock and found some guys sitting around talking. They were very willing to help. They went to the Orr's travel trailer and they got us to Walter. He very quickly opened the gate for us to get out. We actually talked about this Friday evening at dinner, how one would get out in a emergency. Then we experienced the issue only a few short hours later. Thank goodness he only had a case of bad indigestion. Thanks to everyone who helped out.

    Yeah, might be good to have an emergency contact phone number on the weekend schedule just in case. I'd hate to be in the heat of the moment and all the stress and everyone half awake and full adrenaline and suddenly trying to find Walter's trailer at 3 am. Just trying to think ahead of time.

    Possibly a pay-to-go phone listed on the flyer? Then it can be passed around so no one person is always on the hook, and it won't cost a ton. I don't have any contact numbers in my phone, but there have to be 10 flyers in my RV. Just a thought.

    Walter's CMRA cell phone 254-644-9393 is in his sig line, on the contact page and plastered all over the interweb. I figured every CMRA-er had it in their phone by now.

    He (or Ryan) are the always ready / willing / able / on-the-hook guys that you want in case of emergency, believe me. We're lucky to have 'em, but y'all know that
