Florida Winter Tour
Brrrrr!
Headed down to the Florida Winter Tour at Miami Homestead Raceway this weekend for the first stop of the 2006 series. Never been to Miami or a Winter Tour race so it should be exciting. Looks like the weather will be close to 80 degrees!
Highlights to follow on Monday.
Well the first round of the Florida Winter Tour turned out to be a huge success with over 500 entries for the 2 race days. It was a very well run event and I dont think I can ever recall an event this large with so many happy friendly people. I guess when you are coming from cold winter climate to the warmth of Southern Florida how could you not be happy. Hats off to Bill Wright and his whole crew on a job well done.
I saw a lot of faces which I hadnt seen in a while including Jim and Karen Murley of SKUSA fame, Don Mooremeister a SoCal transplant now living the good life in Idaho, Chris Eggar of Pats Acres in Oregon, Bonnier Moulton shooting for KartSport magazine and many time Karting World Champion Mike Wilson from Italy. Oh yeah and media magnate Rob Howden from Canada was racing in the Rotax class. Way to go Rob!
Upon my return home to Virgina Sunday in my shorts and flip flops I was greeted with light rain and temps in the mid 30's. Welcome back to reality, and long pants!

Hi Mike; it was a pleasure to meet you last week at Homestead, after two years of doing business over the phone is great to meet people one deals with quite often.
Look forward to talk to you again in Kart-expo next month.
