Just like Bob Frey would say - today was a "Chamber of Commerce " day -- Sunny and beautiful for sure .Lex Dudas and company has this place looking sharp -- swept , manicured and neat as a pin .As for the track -- well I wish I could repeat some of the numbers I heard from the private test 'n tune but because I didn't witness them I won't -- speaking with a couple of racers who ran today I was told the track was superb and they should be able to duplicate those numbers tomorrow .

Racers we haven't seen lately -- Tommy Ciccarone ( pictured below ) with son Jon-Jon making laps with their Comp car ( and looking good doing it I'm told ) .Also our own Classracer personality Ed Fernandez was seen signing autographs and even has his racer with him -- welcome back Eddie. And former Division One racer Evan Smith decided to grace us with his presence this weekend but "forgot" to bring his racecar - is this a working weekend or did you really miss us Evan ? Or was it just too hot in Florida and you needed a break ...........

By closing tonight there were almost a hundred and fifty teams here already -- doesn't anyone work anymore ?

Also pictured below is the new '05 Mustang F/SA of Anthony Bongiovanni ( don't even ask me to spell his name again ) -- you don't have to like Mustangs' to like this horse -- its a beauty ( the pics I took don't do it justice ) . This is Anthony's first stocker and did he get it right - take a minute in the lanes or in the pits and check it out .BTW-- this is a "regular" engine stocker - ( three valve ) - no SuperCharger here -- just 281 inches with Fuel Injection and a five ( yes, 5 ) speed automatic ! !
