Planning on a day trip for this one Let's make it a record turn out. Who else is in?

Spyder

You talked me into it Spydee.

Mike ....I was able to reserve a couple of boxes on Florida cup day for the ole 40th . They're toward the paddock but at least I got them.

Good deal Leo. Have a great time.

I'm planning to be there.

By yourself or are you bringing your posse?

Who else is in?

Spyder

Nick is a definite. JD (guy in Silks from Saratoga) may jump on if his balls ever drop.

Really looking forward to it.
I can switch to an early flight that would get me down at like 10AM. Decent bar at Airport if I end up killing time in the AM?

Not really. There's a TGIFridays in the main terminal. Some of the airsides have Chilis. The track opens at 11am, by time you get off the plane and catch a cab, take the aewingnut circuitous route to the track, it'll be open. They have a decent bar on the second floor. I'm working on getting the whole day off work and may be there early myself....:D

Screw it, I changed to early flight. (7:05 gets in at 9:50AM).

Although, if we all get started in earnest at the bar at 11AM, I may need a name tag with my return flight info...

I'm in. Flight booked. Arriving in Tampa at 920 AM.

Will be renting a car and more than happy to transport any other morning arrivals from the airport to TBD.

DB

:mad: just been informed that I have to be in St. Louis on 4/1. :mad:

good luck everyone

you're not alone, nut. i can't make it that time either...hoping for a trip to churchill in a few months tho.

Finally, posted - Here are the "DT" Chucks

Pretty cool, I must say. I'm a fan of the classic Chucks the white or the black but the DTs are cool. How did you create these ?

Converse has a "create your own" style on thier website...it cost $60 for the pair, but you could make your own colors from both sides, inside color, stitching, laces and you could add printing. I will be unveiling them as soon as we get good weather :)

very cool!

Distance: Four Furlongs
Time: 51:20 Breezing
Track Condition: Fast
Surface: Dirt
Rank: 21/30

not very fast. but she never has worked really fast

Alright, took care of any work conflicts and I am officially booked!! Can't wait to get this party rolling! Have JD's balls dropped yet?

You mean "Wee John" as Johanna from Austin's calls him?

He's still undecended...I mean undecided at the moment...

Any chance that KnS or Sumwon (when she returns) showing up at Presque Isle Downs this summer? I wanna make a trip there either before Saratoga or after.

felt KNS was flattered in the nitecap today when Hurricane Nikki ran a very strong race to hold second to a classy Sousaphone, continued good luck to both our girls...

There is a chance

Cool :)

pretty cool :p you got to admit

Hey Chuck,

Tried to PM you...

"Cannon Shell has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space.":confused:

Talk to you later

Heels,

Your box is full as well.

Just Nick and I from our group. We are flying seperately, but both are scheduled to get in around 10AM.

If we can hitch a ride from airport, that would be great. Otherwise no problem taking a cab.

Really looking forward to it!
