id love to go but procrastination kills, soo ill be studying all wkd for my exams on monday. have fun! weather should be great tomorrow.
I went down yesterday... I like Friday practice, because you have the track to yourself. Cool breeze and warm sun made for a perfect day. Walked the track with my wife and had a nice lunch. Very pretty waterfront, we had a lot of fun (last photo is the new location of the Dali Art Museum).

Scottie, the original St Pete GP was the former TransAm. I had a new hotel in St Pete, so I gave most of the teams free room and board in exchange for putting our name on their car, having all the drivers appear for autographs on the Wednesday before the race, and having their cars on display in front of the hotel. Our restaurant name was on the cars the qualified 1,2 4, and 5. The craziest situation was the Skoal Bandit driven by Jack Baldwin. I called the owner of the car, he said just come and get it for your display! Irv Hoerr, Tom Archer, Chris Knievel, etc, all of them were there on that Wednesday. Best part, I got to ride in pace car for the start of the race. My photos are not digital, otherwise would post.
