Default Re: Live in Immokalee....Michael are you there?

The classroom portion of Scotty's school has been going on all morning, among the attendees are past Immokalee winners Mark Nowicki (who also won Palm Beach last week), Randy Larson (H/R), and David Hunt... And it's the second time through the school for Mark and Randy... Rut-Row.

Immokalee is part of a small airport, set up on one leased runway. Crop dusters have been flying in and out steadily from the other runways. The track is actually set up to be temporary/removable (which a hurricane did for them a few years ago). Everything is powered by two giant diesel generators. The tower is made up of two stacked shipping containers, there's linked k-rail lining the very wide and very long track, then there's a little go-kart course off the end of the track. As usual, Ralph Hester gave everyone tickets to attend a big blowout party tomorrow night featuring Gee's Bar-B-Q. There's a big casino and restaurant on the outskirts of the small town, for the gamblers.
