The entire memebrship of The Official Tallahasse Porsche 928 Driver Association will be in attendance. I am driving down way early Saturday, staying 1 night at Super 8 in daytona and leaving Sunday afternoon. It's a 4 hour all interstate criuse for me.

DID anyone order an extra XL t-shirt? I'd like one if there are any extra's!

Yep, I didn't have the time to burn, so I get into Orlando at about 9:30 Friday morning and grabbing a rental car. I fly out Monday morning, so I get 2 1/2 days to enjoy this event.

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys as well. I'm staying at the Holiday Inn Express right by the track-I suppose I should've booked something on the beach, but I'll head by the Sharkpit when I get to the track to see you guys.

There's some 911 sort of guys hooking up at the Winghouse Friday night, and I'm still looking to see what Saturday night's got on tap. I'd sent in a reservation to the PCA dinner, but didn't get a ticket, so I'm off the hook there.

It was touch and go for a while, but I believe I will be there (arriving Thursday). Have my res and
tickets, so why waste them.

Just wrapped up the ALMS season late last PM ... Now to focus on Rennsport Reunion III!

Hard to believe I will be the 'Lone Star' from Tex-A$$ with my shark present...
Surely there is someone else??

Are there any benefits to buying tickets in advance?

The track touring is to include the road course section of the track in the infield too. Don't think they've ever included the road course section in any previous track touring, usually only the big oval. Should be awesome.
