Yeah that Sterling guy is alright! Robbie I'm thinking that is a Live Oak tree, they live many years.

We took a ride yesterday to see our good friends Doug and Eva and had a great time. They gave us the grand tour of there RV community and its very nice. All the homes are built around RV's, you can get anything from a pad site to a mansion. There's also a good number of racers living there and a lot of car guy's very cool place to live.
Our friends Doug & Eva with Teresa and me. I think I got a bit to much sun.

Doug & Eva's pad site

This is a garage the entire front wall opens up.

Oranges, in your own yard.

Well we're still here at Bradenton Motorsport park. Rudy and I ran the bracket race Saturday I went out 2nd round Rudy made it down to 5 cars, we sure where pulling for him to win. We're planning on heading to SGMP Thursday or Friday (trying to stay as far south as long as possible). Here are some photos from the race Sat and some random photos. Lets have a little contest. First person to tell me the original owner of this car will get and adult beverage next time you see me.

Cool 48 Ford truck

It's a tuff life being a touring sportsman racer (not everyone's cut out for it)

Sterling and I whopping up on Jimmy and Rudy

Daytona race day

Cool Chevelle

And the winner of the who's car was it is Bill Bricker (He called me). I knew that Norman Hall owned it but Bill had the history on the car. Also he owned it at one time (anybody that knows Bill won't find that hard to believe). It's neat to see cars from the pass that haven't changed. The next game maybe how many and what cars have Bill & Barbra Bricker owned. Bill & Barb you aren't eligible.

That Malibu now belongs to "Pepperoni Tony" Scharrino, one of the nicest guys you will find and the car is definitely a neat car. From what Tony told me the car was originally a SS/GT car and pointed out the tricks used when the chassis was built.

Tony offered to sell the car to me about 18 years ago when he had hurt the motor in it and was just aggravated with it all. I passed on buying it because I had just bought the stuff to build the Malibu that I have. I've kicked myself a thousand times over for not buying it. Glad to see he's still racing it.

Joe thanks for the response, are you going to race at the Gainesville Div race? The Malibu was a local car for us years ago, Norman Hall built it and like all of Normans cars it was top quality and beautiful. Cal your probably right about Bill not being able to remember all the cars he had. Bill, how many and can you name them all?
