Also beware the carnage. There is usually a fair amount of it at 48 hours.

PS - What I really want to know apart from how to drive the track is where exactly is the "Seneca Lodge equivalent" of a bar to be found near the track?
Thanks Mike

I'm #71 a black 944S2 with "You've just been passed by a Turtle" on the back.
I'll be with the Chicago contingent at the Midwest Eurosport trailers.
Also some of the Chicago F guys are with CSMotorsports.

As to the bars, there's a good one north of town that usually caters lunch at the track. And one south of town that has a live gator in the bar. I can never remember their names, but I'll get them over the weekend an pas them on.

And lots of guys hang at the Inn on the Lakes bar, called Chicanes.

If it rains, turn 10 is like ice. Stay away from the apex.
Don't lift through 13,14 & 15 or you will see the backend of your car real fast.
It's a great track. Not very often to us amateur types get to race on a world class circuit.

The place with the live gator is called the Watering Hole--it's on 27. The food is great and plentiful !

Thanks for the track and bar fun info guys. I can't wait. Am about to go out to the trailer and get my wheels so I can mount some rains.

It is snowing! It is 15 degrees!

Make that nine by my truck's thermometer!

I just finished a day in an open Bobcat clearing snow for surveyors. It's nice to be indoors but it will be even sweeter to be in Florida one week from today.

Off to a warm shower,

Jess

Not sure yet Bill, and I probably shouldn't speak for the whole bunch.

At this point, I'd say fifty-fifty for me. This winter is absolutely killing my business and I may have to act responsibly (for a change).

I know that we, as a bunch love that race, love the welcome from you guys, and do pretty well, too there.

Hopefully, we'll all be down again,

Jess

I was thinking about this today. What do folks from outside of the Rocky Mountains expect us to look, act, be like?

Most of us came from somewhere else in the last ten or fifteen years. I'm a SoCal transplant, my partner in crime, Quigley is a New Jersey guy, Petty is from Upstate NY. I guess my point is that we are the same as everyone else, we just drive faster

Don't expect muck-lucks and plaid hats.

Looking forward to meeting everyone (and getting the *ell out of here)

Just kidding about the mountain folk thing...hell we got news coverage on you folks getting rid of the covered wagons and all! Will you be selling any robes or pelts this trip?

Seriously, is anyone a true native of anywhere these days? Having lived in at least five states from NJ to Tennessee to Washington (I'm not supposed to talk about Sandi Eggo) I'm from nowhere in particular.

Its the guys from the Mid-West you need to watch out for!

I thought F class allowed a forty mule team for propulsion. Dem donkeys pull real fine at sea level, I hear!
Good thing you are going this time of year when Florida is actually above sea level!
