Florida

[bob w]

I spent the last 6 weeks in sunny Florida. Now back in the frozen wasteland of Minnesota. While basking in the sunshine and warmth, I did visit Don Garlits' Museum of Drag Racing. Here's a few pics of some of the first "rail jobs" and some other shots.

You were about 2 hours North from me. Been to the Garlits shack a few times. Always cool to see what he has there.

We stay 10 miles south of Tampa, near where my son's family lives. Just a little too far to visit some of you Florida members. Seems like most of the hot rod activity is an hour north of Tampa.

Ha! We were down camping at Fort De Soto Park (just south of St. Petersburg) for a couple days the second week of January.

I saw a Silver Alert message on the 75 freeway. Maybe that was for you, Sam.

I feel guilty for not contacting you, smalls We're going to stay longer next winter, Hopefully I'll get to take a full day away from the family.
A few more pics.

Thanks for the great pics of the museum Bob. Sure hope I get to see it myself before Mr. Garlits or myself are done with this planet!
