I did a dumb thing today and started checking hotel room prices. Please tell me there is something in the works.

The host hotel always has respectable prices.

Royal Inn. it is 84.00 for a room in the new building 561-793-3000.

Call and book now, before it is too late. They fill up fast.

Hey Tim, with all that construction around the track, do you think I can still stay in the motorhome in the big lot (where I usually stay) for the weekend? Is that still where the racers bringing trailers will park also?

Mr. Potter as MDI is hosting this race what is going to be "their" option class? Always a great time at this race track . Deebs and Michael and Tim Potter run an excellent program. We stayed at the host hotel for the regional race and the new rooms are very nice.

Yes they are jaco Blues for the rest of the year. The tires were ok, we still are learning them and to be fair, it was really tough weather.


We will be running the Trans Am class...

While the Jaco Blues did show more wear that the CS27's I felt the performance was better on the second run.

Now with the surface at Village I'm sure you could run the Jacos 10 times without a problem or noticable performance lose...

Thank you Mr. Potter. Lynn and I will be headed down for this one. This is one of those special tracks that I enjoy racing at. Just wish it was closer to home. The traction is allways great and tires are never an issue.

Thanks for the nice words Tony....

Like I said earlier, get your rooms early... Even if you have to book and cancel, better to have something and not need it, then need something and not be able to get it.
