Good Job!
Hi All!

Greetings from Phoenix, Arizona. I've been following the coverage from the
start and have read with interest the observations of many on the eMog list.
What a great effort you are making. It cannot be easy returning to LeMans
after such a long layoff, especially with a new machine. This experience
will be invaluable.

I'm watching the coverage on Speed in the US. While some commentary has been
a bit harsh, it was nice to see that the pit reporter noted during an early
pit stop (after the transaxle repair) that the contrast of the DeWalt Team
and the neighboring Audi team was like night and day. The Morgan team was
smiling. How refreshing!

I see that things are going well and that the position has improved. Good
racing! Please be safe, have fun and finish strong.

Proud to be driving a Mog.

Regards,
Steve Dreiseszun

Excellent Show
To all in Pit 42

I did not realise that watching and waiting over the Internet could be so
tense.

Keep up the good work

Best of British to you all

Go For It!
It's great to see a classic company like Morgan return to LeMans. Best of
luck, and even though you aren't doing as well as you would like, don't give
up! Hope to see you in the states!

Howdy!
Y'all sound like you're having too much fun! The pics
of the car in the garage were fantastic. I'm just so
proud that I happened to buy a De Walt electric drill
10 years ago. Do I qualify now as a real Aero DeWalt
groupie? :-)
To further help me qualify as such I promise to paint
Morgana 4/4 yellow and black as soon as I can.
I'm so glad the guys in the grand stands are so much
behind you.....a lot of my e-mog buddies are there.
Y'all are hanging in through the long night....good
luck tomorrow when it gets hot again. I'll be
checking in the site often. You're the best! Kathi

Dewalt Tools
I currently use two Dewalt tools, both electric drills.

One, I've had for years.

The other, I purchased when I heard Dewalt were sponsoring the Morgan Lemans
effort.

Who knows, after tomorrow (fathers day), I may have more !

Wilson, Thomas
We love the look of the car!
We have been watching the race on Speed in the US. We saw the Morgan come
in early for the vibration problem. My girlfriend, two daughters (11 and
20)and I fell in love with the car. 179mph! Wow! Keep the black side down!
Would love to see you race at Sebring or Daytona.

Overheating
Hello all,

It's good to see that the Aero 8 is really a Morgan despite the hype. I
have been trying to keep my 1967 +4's engine temperature down for nearly
20 years :-)

Kidding aside we (Mymog and I and son Tim and Timog) wish you all the
best of luck.

Sincerely

Way to go team
What an awesome event. It's great to get the reports and see how well the
DeWalt Morgan racing team is doing.
I saw the last pit stop and had butterflies in my stomach, thinking of it
happening live in front of me.

Go Morgan!!! Go team!!!

In a future message to everyone watching, can you explain what we are seeing
outside the "garage"? It's hard to discern what that is beyong the pit lane.
Perhaps can you tell us more about how often the tires are changed, fluids,
etc. Also, pit stops of 4 mins seem awfully long. Is this normal in Le Mans
racing or are there other issues that need to be dealt with.

Regards,
Dan

Hi!
Being a keen morgan fan i'm very excited to have found your live web feed
from le mans - i have to say its making my studying (uni exams) a lot more
exciting!
Im most impressed by the web site and look forward to seeing the Mog in for
a pit stop.
I am wondering however, what position the Aero8 is in in its class?
Good luck for the rest of the race - i hope it goes really really well!!!
