Eli,
I will be there for sure!
Sunday only though.

As far as I know the track is shared with the Ferrari Owners. You can register with the Collection, who is sponsoring this event. I believe it is $300 perday. Little on the high side if you ask me.

Wiliam might go. William, you still have not conquored Homestead. Good for the new brakes. It is a fast and heavy braking track.
Would be fun to see the TR smoke some of the 355 Challenge guys. :-)

Jerry,
you are about and hour and 15 min away. Take the Turnpike south direction Homestead and Key West. You will come to the exit "Speedway Blvd". Exit and follow the signs to the speedway. Usualy you come down to the infield of the Speedway for these events. This would be gate 18. It is on the back of the speedway. Hard to find.

When you drive down Speedway Blvd (don't speed) you will head straight for the grand stands. stay to your right and drive along the grand stands. When the street curves to the right and leaves the property you have a sharp left, which looks like a road leading to nowhere. Take the sharp left and a few hundred yards further you will see the sign Gate 18. Go in there and tell them you are with the Challenge Series.

My Cell is 305-915-4853 I will be there with my 355 Spider with dealer plates. William is coming in his black 512TR, Paul Bianco is coming in the red 360 Modena and there should be a black 308 (Sindo), a red MOndial 3.2 (Frank), a black Mondial 8 (David) and a red MOndial T (Pedro). We will likely park all in the same location.

If you are there and can not locate us call me on the cell. All of you.

We will bring some food and a BBQ, beer and have a good time after the race. We can likely watch the GP race on the TVs in the pits.

I will be out there on Sunday morning.

The FCA National is at Sebring that week till Saturday. Will be driving till Saturday and head home to come to the race on Sunday.

Paul Bianco suggested that we will do a tail gate party of sorts. I am thinking we can extend this and do soem karting on the track next to the stadium as well. Any you guys up for that??

Martin
