And you also made Roper!  You've been busy even with school and other obligations.  I like you show the African American heritage view of Roper.  I myself imagine he is from some warm weather East Coast city like Atlanta, but he loves the whole East Coast from New York down to Miami.  But outside of that region, he's outside of his comfort zone (so if you're from New England to the north and anywhere west of the East Coast, he's not too thrilled to be in your neck of the woods-- he considers it rural barbarian horrorlands.  Still, I admired him for being open minded enough to admire and appreciate Dusty's performance in the time trials-- it shows he's a guy who does actually appreciate hard work and authentic performance. And he hates cheating.  So, even though he snarks, his heart is in the right place.  I also liked he followed the race around the world and was dedicated to making sure the racers were following the code. I'd like to think he was one of the guys who supported Dusty when he was sabotaged by the RPX guys and gave him a chance to compete with penalties in Mexico.

That said, I still found his comments in the movie really harsh, especially cutting down the rural guys like Chug and Dusty and Leadbottom.  I know it's part of the humor and it was funny.  Still his comments seemed mean when the Propwash guys were so decent to him and didn't deserve to be put down for just being the guys they were.

But, that aside, I really love how you portrayed Roper.  It's nice quality work.  Great job!
