That's pretty close to the typical turnout. We usually have 3-5 Ferraris w/5-10 Ferrari people, but most of the people are usually the SCCA racing people. Racing people like racing, but Ferrari people don't always like racing. I had Mike, Channin, and Donato call me in the middle of the race from the MAT. I couldn't hear much so I held up the phone as the cars raced by.

O.K., where was everyone?

I was the only one that showed up (& with my 308) to cheer Ferrari on. There were 8 others that showed up, mostly SCCA people, I think. Nice group. We had a HIGHLY illegal wager going ($5.00 a person) in the form of "pick the team that will accumulate the most points DURING THIS RACE ONLY, then pick 3 drivers. 1st place got 1/2 the pot, 2nd 30%, and 3rd 20%---I nailed 1st place! Then the Cowboys won later. Great day!

I hope all that got to attend had a blast. I'm in for the race next June.

Looks like I may not make it. My new transmission for my Mustang arrived yesterday and so I have some new plans while I have an open Sunday.

Well, if the football crowd takes over, and we don't have too many people, I live right down the street and we could make use of my TV. Not much parking available though....

I'm in for going. My only Sunday plans were to adjust the 308's clutch and catch the Cowboys game. What time do the Cowboys play?

That's what the empty bottles are for! Get agressive, man! LOL

Sorry, Rob, I don't mean it.

I have run in to this concern once, when a boxing match was on! All I got was a small screen off to the side. I wasn't going to take all those guys on!

I know there will a few SRX7, SM, and SCCA people. Don't know who from the Ferrari crowd yet except it sounds like Sean may stop by.

FYI that it's football season, so you might have problems getting the big screen if the pigskin heads out number you. There are large screens in the two corners and we've watched several races from there before.

The SCCA and SRX7 groups have been invited, so that's at least 10-20 people + the Ferrari group.

I'll try to make some of that, and maybe bring the Lotus, since it's ready for when I make it home.

I think I may be going to see the Blue Angels as well with my dad and brother. Any place to get cheap tickets? (cheaper than the $18 at the gate)

Ken, we are going to see the U.S. Navy Blue Angels this weekend.

I didn't realize Lowes' had a demonstration team called the "Blue Angles" :-)
