    Yes! I'm all registered and plan on making the trip! It'll be good seeing some of the guys I met at the Reptile Roundup a few months ago, if they decide to make the long trip from S. Florida.

    Janet and I plan on attending. After 4 1/2 hours in the rain to the Reptile Roundup (which was not only uncomfortable but, more importantly, unsafe), we will be trailering for the first time to this event. That will be a whole new adventure.

    Mike,

    I will be trailering down from the Atlanta area. It is great to bring your portable "garage" with you and keeps your car safe and dry at night!

    Pending weather forcast I may NOT trailer this year. We will see but just a 4 hour ride and the prospect of running back roads has me thinking.. How about a caravan from Ocala?

    If you have not done so, this is the last day to reserve a hotel room for this year's 24 Heures De Floride! If you even MIGHT join us, call one of the hotels and reserve your room. We have some very special events planned for this year; we tour The Florida State University High Magnetic Field Laboratory, tour the Maule aircraft plant, two rallies, two days of cruising beautiful backroads, a car show, the Tallahassee Automobile Museum, great food, t-shirts, decals for the car, and more! You will be tired and happy, we promise!

    Gary, It's looking like we're not going to make it. I have clutch issues that I can't seem to fix and no time to work on it. I am hoping my son can fix it but it's a long shot. Very upset... Chuck

    Sorry to hear that you were unable to sort it out. When you cool off, let us know what the diagnosis is.
