Got my acceptance for the Concorso in the mail today. WOW. I hope the weather holds in January as I plan on driving it from Indiana. Now all I have to do is spend a jillion bucks getting the car ready! |

You have not seen the S since you last tacked Moroso William. Remember the pavement change when you came out of turn 6 (some call it 7) and went to the back , then had the light left sweap to go into the S right before the 180� last turn for the pits and front straight? Well, before the pavement change ther eis a new S, which is a 2nd gear S. When you takle this one good you can upshift to 4th before braking hard for the old S.

I don't think Moroso is that tough. Not nearly as tough as Homestead. With the new S on the back straight the speed has been reduced. So full throttle only on the front straight, then heavy braking into turn 2 and 3.

Moroso is a little rough but 1 or 2 days on the track wont do much to your car. I will have the 512TR You need to find a copy of Cavallino magazine. the editor John Barnes said they will take applications from subscribers first so you can do what I did last year, Sent in my 2 year sub & application simultaneously  |

William, I really want to do this, and am qualified for Red.....but I hear that Moroso REALLY tears cars up (we flew to the Cavallino last year & did not bring any cars). Any truth to this? Thanks! |

Guess I will be there as well. Don't think I will be tracking the car, too many other crazy people out there, but will come to the track to watch William and all the others. Concourse is a must! Also will have to do Mar A Largo this time. Wify wants to see Donalds play house! |

Went last year for the first time, and really enjoyed it. Still haven't decided yet about this next one, though. Lots of things up in the air; I probably won't know for another month or so. |
