Sorry Soupcan. Just so you know, the Karting takes awhile so we may be there for a few hours or until the weather gets too bad.

All good, Fully understand. I would have left early, except all but three of us are out with the flu.

I think I just heard you sneeze. Are you feeling ok? You look a little pale.

Raining cats and dogs here in Clearwater. I don't think they'll let us drive in the rain, but even if they did, it'll be more like skiing than driving, notto mention thunderstorms and lightning. Just thought I'd report an update on the weather.

I've said before and I'll say it again...the go-kart place is missing out on a lot of business by not having a covered track

It was a good time, I think. Didn't see any go carts but there were a lot four wheeled boats at that marina. Fun playing pool and eating off of several plates at once. Nice meeting new faces . The news item of the evening was the appearance of Ross. As you will see when Shawn posts, Ross made an extra effort to get noticed. It seemed he was everywhere at once. When Mike untied him and removed the duct tape, he seemed relieved that his streak of no-shows had ended. Now that he's unpredictable again, we'll see if he'll make it two in a row. G

It was a monsoon, so no carting . But the company was good, as was the food & drink. Well worth the drive over.
The drive home back through that mess of a rain storm was interesting. Certainly didn't put any wear on the tires I as think I hydroplaned pretty much the whole way back

Soupcan & Shadowknight, those are two fine looking 928s you got!

Sorry guys. That was absolutely the worst weather we have seen in 6 months. I promise to do better next time. Here are a few pics. Ross and the Rossett's were in fulleffect. Rhissa and Doreen were testing their punching ability. They ended up with the high score. A few pics of the rain and flooding. The reason that there are no pics of the 928's is because we had to move them to keep them from taking on water. It was so bad that when George A. moved his car, he had to resort to wearing his bathing suit and no shoe's.

Where did the weekend go? Hey guys it was good times. So after the brief rain event on Friday I can 100% confirm that my shark is water tight... a good thing to as I was running out of rubber seals to replace.

Brief rain event? Ha...it never seemed to stop, it was so bad on I-75 at times traffic was going no more than 10mph. I haven't seen it rain that hard in sw florida in a long time. Would have been nice to look at the rest of the 928's that showed up. I got to get the LED's you and Russell have, both sweet cars by the way. Here is the Info on the shop were I got my alignment done.
