Thanks for the info. I booked a room at Days Inn over in Plant City. Most rooms were booked or highway robbery rates the closer you get to Disney-trap.

Just picked up the trailer after waiting for 4 hours for the F/C guys to show up

. Lesson learned:

Rule 1) Never trust fuel racers with your stuff.

Rule 2) If a fuel racer ever asks to borrow something and promises to bring it back in the same condition, or "fix" things, refer to rule 1.

Gee Jim good thing I'm reading this now instead of before the race. I kept wondering if that big black box in your trailer is where you keep all those low ETs. (Sorry I couldn't resist

)

Even though the track surface was tricky, I had more fun today than what should be legal!! I'm also glad you didn't discuss RTs... mine really sucked today. I think I left my brains back in Plant City. Hats off to Jim Woods & crew. They did an excellent job. We'll talk later this week.

I too had a great time. I met a lot of nice people and got to see some really impressive cars, UP CLOSE! You guys are all top notch and have a great thing going with a full head of steam.

I have 250 pictures I'm going to try to figure out the easiest way to get them up where all can see them. I'll try to get a sample up today, so stay tuned!
