Hope you don't get TOO bad of a sunburn, like maybe just around the edges of your speedo so it hurts when you sit down!

Kevin,
IMO, Bernie goes on too many vacations and enjoys life way too much.

I agree Mike!
He even goes so far as to have a good time slot racing. I caught him smiling and laughing way too much last week at the ISRA race.

Sorry I will miss this one everytime I think about coming home another snow storm hits. I think that I better stay here longer you have enough snow up north. From the land of sun and the only white stuff is on a sandy beach by the way it's 79°.

I actually should schedule a vacation every month. Business takes off everytime I am getting ready to leave! If I could pull it off without a heart attack for a couple of years I could retire 
Best thing is NEXT year Reggie will have the new G17 up and running and I will be able to race in St Maarten as well. Live'n the dream

How do you keep a slot track from sinking into the sand?

Sorry. Too busy to post. After the Retro race, we went into hardbody.
Despite the afternoon snow we had 10 on the King and 13 on the Flat track for that.
Retro races was KVP,Swiss and Sano Dave in F1.
Sano Dave,Swiss and John Austin in Can-Am.
I TQ'ed both classes.

Way to go Mike!
