I have my fresh oil in, Ready!!!

Thats awsome bro. Congrats.

Yea I'm very stoked
Going on a trial run to
Pinellas today

Stuka, Fruitville works well for me. There is a racetrack on the south side of fruitville that has plenty of room for a convoy and will be easy to get back onto I-75 from. Watcha think?

hey jerm that is where i was going to suggest. if jerry can make it there that should be a good location.

Piece of Cake! We'll meet you there Jerm.

Sounds like a plan.

This will be fun, and its for a good cause.

Is everybody READY? This is shaping up to be a blast!!!!!!!!

I'm ready! Done working on "verty".

I just broke my CV Joints tonight so I will be in the SUV This sucks

Man..............Sorry to hear that. We'll try to cheer you up tomorrow.

Well its 2am and I just got back from kevins house car now has brakes snd I'm ready!!

I have a wake to go to so Im not making this one.

Sorry to hear that man. I was looking forward to meeting you and beg for a ride in that bug.

Wow!! What a drive! I'm glad we all made it there and back safely. Nice to meet some new faces today. We had a great time even though it was extremely HOT.

It was a HOT day. Don't speak so soon about everyone making it home. I pulled out after you guys from the gas station and the bug died on me. Believing it was the fuel pump, I had my hero of a wife pick one up from the store and deliver it to stranded ol me. I think it was the wrong one and the bug confirmed it when it shut off not far past the first point of failing. My hero of a wife then went home and grabbed a tow strap. Funny how you guys made it home quicker than me

My car ------> <--------- ME

Man...that sucks dude. I'm sorry. At least you weren't far from home...

Thats the way I looked at it. I told my wife it beats breaking down in North Port! Anywho, I had a great day still. Thanks for making the journey down here!

i had a great time today aswell. i did learn a few things about my car today i need a better fuel pump to feed those dual dells. a regular electric fuel pump just can't handle the job. second i really need larger tires. 50 mph screaming 3200 rpms not good. but i did have a great time and i enjoyed hanging out with my daughter and good friends.

Damn, I wish I could have made that.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Jerm, you have got to do something extra special for your crew chief. I managed to get home around 5:30 or so without
anything breaking. Man was it HOT!!!! It was so hot that it has made me retink future episodes of summer driving.
A huge pat on the back for everyone that made the trip, Darren, Kevin, Kevin's
daughter, Mike & Mandy, Larry, London Pam & Casey, The couple in the Rail
(help me out on this one) You all are HARD CORE!!!!!!

in the rail is brian w. and i am sorry i can't remember his friends name sorry he will kick my but for this i am sure lol.sorry brian

I would like to thank everyone for coming out and supporting this. It was a great day overall, but as already stated "IT WAS HOT" I did get a lot of good pics that I will email London, that way they won't get lost in this thread. Between Registration, Additional Donations and Buffalo Wings and Rings, contribution....We raised $500.00 for these families. We can all be proud to be a part of that, you guys and gals are awesome. The water coolers from here and south of here also enjoyed bridging the gap. Sorry to hear about the mishap on your way home Jerm. Also, next time a bunch of us get together, we should exchange some numbers. I was close enough to maybe lend a hand. I may need it next time. Again thanks for braving this horrible heat to come out. How about that food? That was probably worth the trip, alone. Peace, Ron

Thanks Ron for putting this on. It was so much worth the trip Great Cause I'm so excited that that much was raised. I will be looking for those pic if you could upload them to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and this way we can share the link.
