Gainesville Alover Again!~Feb 2, 2002

[Engineer Ed]

Joe,
I have to call Inman this week about a few things so I'll include Sebring as one of the topics.

I remember bowing out of the June event this year due to low funds....

Yep, you hit the nail on the head when it comes to cost. Add in hotel, food and track cost and you are talking $500~&600 clams.
But hey, it's Sebring !!!

For the money, we have to balance the cost -vs- thrill.
If we are looking at slow speeds and instruction, it may not be worth it. I had a blast at Gainesville and the speeds were enjoyable. Brakes kept me from enjoying it further, but I'll have that fixed for February.

Like I said, I'll check with Inman and see what we can come up with. There are other options we haven't even considered yet. Moroso comes to mind.....

Now is the time of year that us FLorida guys need to get out and enjoy our cars. The summer heat has kept our beloved snakes in the garage and I'm ready to start to enjoy the great weather that is around the corner.

As for the Flash Thrash and Dash, I'm going to talk to John Phillips and see if we can host something on this side of the state.
the Fair Grounds here in Tampa have a nice surface to race on and we could plan something there for the weekend.
I did an SCCA event there and they love us Cobra guys.
I'm sure they would be willing to set something up for us.
Last year we had rental cars tearing up the track at Palm Bay.
What a sight that was.....

I'll contact John and the SCCA to see what is available for Feb March time frame.

I'll get back with you as soon as I know something about Sebring.
