"Live From" Gainesville's Double Header

Hello everyone,

Its good to be back racing again, and I will be bringing you reports from the Div 2 points race and the Gatornationals. I have been down here since last Wednesday. We were racing with the NMRA at Bradenton. Ford Performance starts the year off in Bradenton with the Cobra Jet Showdown, and we like to support it.

The first photo is of John Calvert's new 2016 Cobra Jet at the NMRA race. John and I raced in the third round, he sent me packing, but we still had a great time. John's good people, and he will be here next week. I think he decided to stay and run the new NMCA Factory Super Car class.

This year I teamed up with Bongiovanni Racing and will be in the 08 Cobra Jet, but the Shelby wont sit. Jim Morgan, long time friend and the engine builder for my Shelby will be behind the wheel at the Div 1 races.

There is a test session today starting at noon, and again tomorrow. The weather looks good and it should be in the mid 80 all week. Just a few shots of the rigs rolling in and getting parked.

Testing should start shortly. The cars are starting come out of the trailers, so I grabbed a few shots. Okay folks, here is a little trivia, who is the guy in the last photo on the back window of Joe's car.

Bill Murry it is, I too thought it might be the god father.

Hey Larry, we do miss you and Patsy, it wont be the same without your reports. I will do my best to keep everyone informed. A few more photos and a video of Eddie Brooks and Sterling Simons testing.

The last photo is possible my new tow vehicle. It does have a few downsides, poor mileage, a little to much heat on the trailer, but the upside is it has a 100,000 lbs. plus towing capacity.
