I have a friend like that,can't drag him out of his room much less out of the house.

P.S. Take cover Rhawb! looks like were in for some bad storms tonight.

 

Aye, I've got my blinds open in perparation - should be pretty awesome! I love when it rains, especially really heavy rain (lightning doesn't hurt either)

 

Umm, You have me confused with someone else.

 

D'oh - yeah I did - got you and Tigster mixed up...I was hoping you wouldn't catch that before I edited it, haha :o

 

I thought I had a brain fart there for a minute. One second it's there, a second later it's gone! It's all cool though! :D

 

His was this one, it was the only one that was blown. He drove the president of firestone racing around. I love driving that car he has everything done and he left it looking stock so it is a sleeper.

PS I think we should PM everyone that has responded to this thread that lives in Orlando, I did to 3. Rx8wannahave, tiggerlee, and epithriod

 

How did I spend two days there and not see his car parked around the venue? Weird. NICE car though, I approve. As for PMing central FL people, I've told Guy321 to try and make it, but he's all the way in St. Pete, so I doubt he'll drive all this way.

 

His car was parked there only on sunday and you needed a paddock pass to get there. They were parked all in a row behind the honda ridgelines right behind the start finish line.

 

Ah, that explains it - no paddock pass...I was playing poor college student that weekend. :p

 

I remember those days.. I am very glad they are over! Did you have general admission tickets or grandstand. We had grandstand section 6 row 12 seats 3 & 4. Also I got sunburnt something fierce that day. But I got a cool Indy car hat.

 

Well, I'm not terribly strapped for cash, but springing for 3 days of grandstand tickets made spending any more money than was absolutely necessary a bit hard to swallow that weekend. We were in section 2, row 15, seats 15 and 16. Good seats, but we had some jackasses sitting down one level from us who kept trying to dictate where everyone was supposed to be sitting (and they were always wrong, they were just trying to get better seats for themselves). My friend and I both managed to avoid too much sunburn by applying what was probably dangerous amounts of sunscreen. I kept forgetting my ears though, so wearing sunglasses is a bit of a dreaded task right now since the ears are all crispy.

 

Thats funny on my left were 2 guys comparing everything to nascar, and on the other side was a long beard and tattoos and he left after 2 minutes saying those races were crap compared to nascar! I have been to both types of races and I much perfer the indy cars, they do however need to have more consession stands. Everywhere we went they either were sold out or had no change for a 20. Our seats were just to the right of the 711 car. Also my ears got might crispy! My avatar is what I looked like after the races.

 

Agh, I have no real problem with Nascar (well, I don't much care for it, but I can understand its appeal) but I just can't imagine those races being more entertaining than the Indy races. I guess it's just my style. The concessions there were nuts - the prices were absolutely outrageous. I guess I should have expected that, but I wasn't expecting everything to be 3x what it would cost on the outside. I think I spent more on drinks in the two days than I normally do in a whole week.

We were right behind the Vision car and there was a group of about 5 drunk college guys right by us who were laughing their asses off at their performance and making fun of the team. I almost felt bad for them, but I have to admit that it was pretty funny to see the whole pack go by and then see Foyt and the Vision car come rolling around about 20 seconds later. :D

 

I PM'ed o town racer he said he will try to make it as well..

The vision car was pretty bad but at least he wasn't the unsponsored orange one that got into the wreck very early.

 

Ah, the unsponsored orange car was Foyt. If I'm not mistaken, I think he was on his third car of the weekend.

 

ok so there is atleast 9 8's goin right? anyone else in central fl???

 

Just so up to par with everyone else i believe this is tommorow saturday at 6pm correct

 

As far as I know, yeah. I'll be there at 6, so there will be at least one other 8 there tomorrow. :D

 

6:00 by Best Buy is when and where I am going to be there.

 

I have a friend with an 8 and he is going to try to make it also

 

coo. cant wait!!!

 

So...are all of you going to wash your cars and stuff...lol? Do I wear a suit? LOL

 

I'm going to wash my car because it's absolutely filthy right now. In this state it would probably actually drive people away, so something needs to be done...As for the dress code, I think we can let casual attire slide just this once. :p

 

Well it's been raining for the last couple days, so I think my car deserves a wash. I'm a lil tired so I don't think she'll get my regular 3 hour detail.

 

I'm about to wash my 8 now...I'll vacume the inside and dust it too...

I don't know if I'll be able to stay long but I'll bring my digi cam to take some pictures of the RX8's.
