Amtrak has and Auto Train where you buy a small bunk/room for two and they carry your car.

Right now the only one goes to Sanford Florida for Disney World.
You have your own car in Florida.

Making it less expensive to fly and rent.
Takes 18 hours by train but most if the trip is sleeping.
Meeting people and a nice dining experience.

Only drawback for me. Wish I was in the Navy.
The rail cars will rock back and forth playing with your brain.

When we were there we took the SSuperwagon.
Visited both Atlantic and Gulf Florida beaches.

Took Maria, Maria's mom, daughter Christina to Disney World.
Did a lot in a week.

And experienced I-4 traffic.

Hey Dan ... got to slip out to the track tonight. Friday it rained 10" (yes, you read that correctly) ending our string of Lord knows how many 90+ days in a row. Today was supposed to be in the low 80's, breezy and low humidity. Wendy and I loaded up the RV (first time towing with it), the Corvette and headed 1.5 hours NE to Crandall to TNT.

DA was around 1800' all evening (I'll look up the exact numbers later) ... not bad conditions but not perfect either. We'll take it for September in Texas.

Best run was 11.74 @ 113 with a 1.53 60'. Car was very consistent. Ran an 11.74, 11.75 and 11.77 and we were playing with tire pressures and not cooling the car at all (only icing the intake). 1/8 time was 7.40. The scales were closed but based on my calculations we were about 150 lbs. over. On a 12.45/8.10 index we were 7 tenths under. If you put any stock in drag race times density altitude web site and conversion at sea level it said it would be an 11.49.

Best part of the evening was Wendy getting seat time. She's only been to the track as a spectactor a handful of times in her life (all with me) and has NEVER been down the track. Eventually, as she feels more comfortable, I'd like her to do all the driving (she is 140 lbs. lighter than me!!!) She did AWESOME for her first time. First pass was 14.50, second was 13.05 and then 11.98 and 11.91. Her last 2 60' times were 1.75 so she's still figuring out how to leave and left off the brake at the same time. I was very proud of her!

It's 2am and we're home safely and unloaded. All and all a wonderful evening. In behind roads relaxed and watched UT win as we enjoyed a cool eveing finally! Excited to get out again soon ...

Hey Dan,
I will get some photos out to you this week of the 2014 mustang 3.7 v6 ( setting -up for E/PS ). I have been sending Mike Baker a E- Mail every other day about what is going on with the approval to run Pure Stock with the new Mustangs and he has not answer any of my current e-mails ! I am not going to stop going after this ! but I did drag my 1997 Camaro 3800 V6 ( stick car ) out of the back of the garage and will be freshening it up for the 2014 season as a back-up car. It will be a H or I Pure Stocker. Car has run a best of 13.70 @ 101 a couple a years ago in H/PS trim. I will also send you some photos of this car.
