Wednesday Early Evening...Florida Time...March 19th, 2008

Today we have acted as if we were young again (ie..pre Linda's illness).

We drove....ran....raced...down to Sebring today to catch the prior Champ Car teams (3 of them) practice with the IRL cars they are now involved with....We walked...talked...and enjoyed our day....BUT..it was a long road back...and we still have a dinner date.....tomorrow we sleep in...except we have another dinner date tomorrow.

It was fun meeting drivers and race folks we knew..we felt part of things again....we plan on visiting with more folks before the St. Petes race and then we will be in full action in Long Beach.

What then? We think we might really retire....

Linda held up well today...worn out by a long day....but enjoyed the trip. See some pics below, including Linda with Jimmy Vasser...our favorite driver of all times....now a team owner and a great guy!

Fantastic picture of Linda and Jimmy together... just like old times!

But... did you have to post pictures of those abominably ugly cars?

Can't wait to see you two at Long Beach, back to old tricks. After that, you deserve to retire. You've done so much to make so many people happy over the years, it's time for you to relax and make yourselves happy.

Love to you both, as always.

You two, retire??? Naw....you will just re-invent yourselves and take on another challenge! How about running tours to Tahiti? I'll be the first to sign up for the tour.
