OK, that’s 4 down. Heck, this is easy...<br />
I’ll pick up the spare on my next lap!<br />
See, is says right here... No matter how hot it<br />
gets, you must wear your leather jacket all day.<br />
For the onlooker/passenger like myself there was plenty <strong>of</strong><br />
entertainment. <strong>The</strong>re was ample time to check out the phenomenal<br />
cars up and down pit road. (Sebring’s mini-museum!) From 333’s to<br />
Maserati birdcages and everything in between. When the touring group<br />
came up, it was my opportunity to play the role <strong>of</strong> adrenaline junkie,<br />
especially through the hairpin!<br />
And don’t forget the go-karts! Racer’s Country <strong>Club</strong> gave me<br />
the chance to show my expertise. Maybe I still can’t drive a stick or the<br />
shifter karts, but I did get a chance to squeal my tires and even spin -<br />
out once! I definitely felt that I maximized my time at the track.<br />
I do want to mention a few highlights <strong>of</strong> my Sebring weekend.<br />
First, it amazed me how many female drivers took to the track. For<br />
example, Bonnie in her 308, and Monica in her beautiful blue Maserati.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y sure impressed me! Monica did want to stress the importance <strong>of</strong><br />
track insurance as she now has a beautiful black Maserati. Thanks<br />
Brian for being a sport at Saturday night’s dinner even after trying to<br />
restyle his bodywork. And <strong>of</strong> course there was Eddie Smith. He may<br />
need assistance fastening his helmet, but once in the car he sure can<br />
drive! What a ladies man too. How many women did he promise a<br />
dance? I’m still waiting in line!<br />
Saturday night brought more awesome food and entertainment.<br />
Jeff entertained us all with his wit and charm, and for those <strong>of</strong> us who rallied,<br />
we lined up for midnight Enzo rides thanks to Ray! Wow what a night!<br />
Finally, Sunday morning brought recovery. One last concours<br />
spread out over the Chateau Elan lawn, together with a breakfast buffet<br />
wrapped up the fun-filled weekend. I can now say that I am truly<br />
developing an appreciation for these fine cars and amazing group <strong>of</strong><br />
people. I can’t wait for next year!!<br />
I don’t know why they<br />
call it <strong>The</strong> Pits, it’s<br />
actually quite cozy!<br />
I’ll say it for the last<br />
time... that c<strong>of</strong>fee’s<br />
gotta have a lid!<br />
<strong>Florida</strong> <strong>Red</strong>line 5<br />
While some would say that the action was on the<br />
track, Paulie B and his Posse might beg to differ.<br />
I know I promised you a ride. That’s not the point.<br />
But my seat still isn’t dry from the last time!
