In 2001 we raced in Daytona Beach , FL. It was super rough as Johnny T called it the roughest race of his career. I witnessed the F2 (twin v's 500 efi's ) get smoked by the F3's (Cat w/ twin 500 efi's). The 36 Skaters were untouchable in the rough. Just my .02 worth

Hey Mark been a long time!!!
Thank you, I will be in contact.

A lot of work to be done, we have contacted the hospital and some business by you that are willing to help as well. We have our first meeting here this week.
It will be great to run again back there.
Thanks
Jim

Thats not all you sit on. I know how you Greeks are!

But yes, this sounds like a good time. I highly recommend hammond marina. Plenty of slips there. Yacht club, casino, good launch ramp. Plus, several sweet old Cigs, Fountains, Formulas and Apache boats call it home.
