Bartow (555 Raceway)
Monkey drove over, haven't got to sit back and enjoy the beautiful Florida country side going to or from a RC race in YEARS!!! Thanks Monkey!!!
Lead for most of the 1st qualifier (3rd race of the day) for ele stadium truck. Missed a jump and got passed next to the last lap, the racer would have passed me within the next lap anyway, he was running about 3 sec faster a lap than me!! I had the wrong tires for the track surface AND he was JUST FASTER!!!
As the horn sounded to finish the 4th race >>> RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watched a EZ-UP roll through the north pit area as I was grabbing my EZ-UP, sure did get wet getting things into the cab of the truck!!!
SO! I guess I finished 2nd in Ele Stadium Truck!!! :-)

About half way back driving down Rt 37, we passed a alligator who was going south in the north lane about full speed! Thought Monkey was going to have a pants problem!
I've alway been concerned about the odd deer or hog out in the country like that coming back from Bartow or DC BUT I NEVER thought about a alligator!!
