Joe, for those of us Camping, can we build a camp-fire or will the Airport frown upon such things?

We aren't inside the fence.....

It's the Day of the Dead, but that doesn't mean this thread can die. I'm off today, getting stuff ready for the dog-sitter, work two days next week then late flight out Weds. Can't effin' wait to see my car.

Sorry , but Joe sold your car to finance the Hot Dogs & BEER

Wish we could be there kids!

Just taking a head count.

Who will be here Thursday Evening?

Nelson
Betty
Bob

Bob

I want to be there...it will just depend on wheter or not the car is with me Still working to complete it!

We had a test run out to the Island to test the November weather.

Very nice. 80*.

This Friday will only be 75*, but will still be very nice.

The embroidered shirts have arrived.

I decided to do them all the same stripes version for color continuity.

You'll be happy. Here's Betty's:

I haven't decided if I'm coming over Thursday or very early Friday morning - leaning towards Friday

The wife & I will be there thursday around 5:00ish , leaving miami before noon
really looking forward to this event , Bill D.

thursdays afternoon...6ish

Verena and I should get there between 9 and 10PM with my IMSA car on a trailer.

I'd like to offload it Thursday night so it can be stored inside your shop if possible.

I can always keep it at the Clarion that night if I get there too late.

John

We can do it Thursday night.

It is sitting on the ground for the first time in years as of yesterday and looking pretty cool.

John

Good looking shirts! You will have to mail mine...I have to be in Cleveland through Saturday.

That Sucks

More Beer for the rest of us I guess

Yep...I'm not happy. I had my room reserved, car checked out and ready for action, and a full tank of non-ethanol fuel. I was ready!!!!!!!

The Countdown is now in Hours

Indeed! Leave Albuquerque in about 8 hours. Will be there late tonight, raring to go tomorrow. See everyone soon!

Joe, what time are you leaving for Daytona on Friday? Want to make sure I get to Series9 before you leave.

Lori and I should be there between 6 and 7 Thursday night. okay to set up camp at that time?

Hey guys, just knowin' Joe and how busy it gets putting on an event, he's probably going to respond quicker if you call him at this point.

Gonna get lunch and head to the airport here.

8:30am.

No problem.

I'll be there by then

On my way now @ 7am only 500 miles to go.

You guys to Drunk to take Pictures?

I'll be there in a few hours

Wow....enjoy. I'm in Cleveland where it feels like it's 20 below (although, I think it really is 27 or so). I hate cold weather.

I'm out the door

On my way out the door at about 7a.m. and I am in my 6 conversion!!!!

Leaving work now, wish I could have made it this morning, but I should be there by 5 today. Can't wait!

A couple photos for HSR (Historic Sportscar Racing) in Daytona. More photos to come.

A couple more

Well what can I say...The Tropical Ramble is in full swing and we are having a blast! Joe had a quick drivers meeting this morning for us and we were off to Daytona International Speedway for the HSR Races by 8:30am. The time we had at the track was fantastic. TC got EFR (Elliott Forbes-Robinson) to come by and take a group photo with us. This was very cool for everyone and had a special meaning for my wife and I. I worked on a IMSA team back in 1987 (Primus Motorsports) and EFR was one of our drivers at Daytona, Sebring and the Miami GP along with Chris Kneifel and Brian Redman. Here are a bunch of pics. First we were at the track and then it was on to Hidden Treasures...a waterfront eatery and bar. Captn Joe then picked us up at the dock and took us over to disapperaing Island...This is a cool sandbar at Ponce Intlet looking out to the Atlantic.

One pic was taken today with EFR and my wife Leslie. The other pics are from back in the day at Primus Motorsports...some cool shots with EFR and Redman. Havin the chance to talk with EFR today was very cool....It was the first day of driving my 6 conversion and he told me all about the subtle modifications he made to his 1970 914/6 just after he bought it back in 1970...that was incredible! Can't wait to get back behind the wheel for day 2 of the Tropical Ramble tomorrow!!

Early morning at Series 9.

Ready to roll out

Nice drive down the beach

Trying to run down Joe.

Time for lunch

Great pictures! Just a little trivia note. I first met EFR at Glendale College in CA. He was taking the same classes as I in the A&P course in 1965. He drove up in his 289 Cobra to show us his new ride.
