    I Plan on being there between 10 and 3 at least.
    Surprised to see the lack of interest from the TB. Orlando and Jacksonville area...this is only 2 hours or less away from each area. We are talking about Don Garlits here...
    As a Tampa Bay Resident in the 60's I actually remember listening to a DG race on the radio...

    I'm on the schedule at work. Thanx anyway.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    I'm actually down with whatever time there is, as long as we can accommodate everyone we can have a decent group.
    after the museum we can go gokart racing, 50mph at 3 inches from the pavement them everyone is welcome to come to my house for a drink.

    Me too, you can easily spend a couple hours in the museum, there truly is that much to take in.
    I'm going to try to get there at least by 11...
