I toke about a couple dozen pics and these three are the only one's on my card.
How we didn't get kicked off the track (100+mph
) or break anything at the go-cart track is beyond me. I had a lot of fun, everyone was great, nice meeting everyone. Next year I will be getting a room for the weekend though.
First is in line behind Mike's 89 GT waiting to run on the track.
Second is on the Track behind Mel and Mike.
Last is on the way to George's Restaurant behind Brian's 6.5l 86.5.

Yes, we should get a Karting get together planned. I had mentioned it once before but I didn't follow through. I have been to that Kkarting location a few times. Its pretty good but not as fast of a track as the one at Sebring. The one in St. Pete is alot tighter.
Any word from Ross?

Another great event with the friendly Florida 928 crowd. We're so glad we were able to make it again this year. Sorry we missed the track tour today but the 8 hour drive home was almost as challenging.
I'm hoping that we can arrange an event in the Atlanta area sometime soon so you folks can drive here for a change.
I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures. We didn't take any at the track this year but I did find a nice photo op when I stepped out of the room yesterday morning. What'ya think Randy?

Anyone have the number to the people taking track pictures? I completely forgot to go over and buy one of my car on the track.
As for a GTG for karting count me in, just say when.
Glad everyone seems to have made it home safely.

So I see Guillermo had you guys working on his car today. Was there a diagnosis?
Thanks again to all those who drove a long way to attend. Mike, I like the color of your car more and more every time I see it. I look forward to seeing you at SITM.

I've got their #, just at the house, not on me. I'll post it sometime this week. He's located in Ohio. Cost is $27 for an 8x10, or he'll put all the pics he took of you(usually 2-3) on a cd for the same price + $6 shipping.
btw, C-Mike was a Godsend on Sunday, not only for traking down the reason for Guillermo's altenator not charging, but also for being there when Arlene's clip came off her headlight bar & put a hole in her radiator. I called him Saint Mike!!!

Apparently he'd been running straight off battery power. Mike tracked down a loose connection on the back of his instrument panel that caused a break in the circuit that prevented the system from charging.
