i have a couple great memories of Orlando. Carl do you remember this?
my Friend and i went from oc. Maryland to Florida for a surf/jet ski. vacation. we had a high top Chevy conversion van. we found your track and off we went. we got there, gate person said we don't race those here (referring to the stand up jet skis on the trailer) i entered the no electronic money class. we tied the jet ski trailer to a tree and off we went. my friend stayed in the passenger seat and filmed our runs. think it ran like 19.90 something or slower. first round we won, the lady at the ticket booth handed us some candy and said i could have more if i kept winning. kept going rounds, my friend would film out the back window now and yell when to hit the brakes. it was hilarious. i won the entire race, got lots of candy. they could not belive a slow high top van filled with surfboards luggage and beer had just beat their best racers. afterwords you invited us up in the tower and we had cake and swapped stories. said you knew our home track, us 13 and Charlie cathell. that was a blast!
a few years later me and another friend flew down on vacation, and we stopped by and i raced again, this time in a rental car, a 2003 sebring convertible. won $300. paid for the weeks rental and then some. had to break down the trophy in three pieces to get it into the luggage for the flight home!
man i am going to hate to see it go, i hope something works out.
