David,

I sure did! Not the best quality in the world, but it really is convenient since it is always with me.

The phones in about a year are supposed to come with pretty high quality built in cameras. Somewhere above 2.0 megapixels.

My phone can be had for about $100. So the price is very reasonable.

Youre welcome to come out.

The track day will be just that. We may have a 360 impromptu race, but we will see what develops.

Only Ferrari or Maserati powered cars. But come out to watch, it will be great. Currently we will have all of the Ferrari supercars (2 Enzos), (4) 333SPs, (2) 360 GTs, and (6) challenge cars, along with 90 other street cars.

Kelly,
What time is the Concourso starting? It looks like I will be leaving Pensacola pretty early in the morning that Friday to make it. I tried to call last week but whoever answered said you were at a meeting. I'll try back sometime soon. See you there!

John,
I talked to Roland yesterday and Ray (yellow Enzo) Saturday and thought my car is getting ready for the event but just talekd to my mechanic and he said it may be cutting it short. My car is sitting wiht the engine out and the heads pulled on the floor.
Damn, that would have been so much fun. Ray and Roland are great people to hang with.
If I see the light at the end of the garage, I will call you direct (got your numbers from Roland) and sign up. I would love to come but need a fast car to hang with you guys in the escort :-)

No idea yet. Still trying to figure out if any of my friends are interested enough to drag them over there to watch me drool all over your cars. I have thought about going solo so I can roam freely with you all and not worry about them. I'll check the funds halfway through the month and then decide. The steaks on the way too.:-)
