we made our reservations today at Tropical Palms for sat and sun nites...
we figure we wouldnt want to drive all the way home sunday after riding roller coasters... :eek:

with our AAA discount, the place was $59 per nite! not bad...
for those that are interested...their pool is open 24 hours according to their web site...midnite swim anybody? :D

if you make reservations there it wouldnt be a bad idea to say that you are with "the club"...i dont know if it will do you any good but she DID wave the $10 fee for not staying 3 nights when i mentioned that there may be more of us wanting to stay there... :D
I personally cannot take time off work... I will have to return Sunday Night...

I am about 12 miles from Old town. That could take a hour at times.
Gotta love I-4! :cry I've been on that road stuck for hours and then all of a sudden the traffic ends and you're back up to speed...no apparent reason for the traffic, no accident, nothing! Bizzarre! :confused:

I try to stay away from I-4. But around here it isn't just I-4 . Central Florida has an antiquated non sychronized traffic light system, poor road designs, that defy logic.

There is a program manager where I work that has a nice 77. He's been a little inactive lately (not of his choice) but he said he will try to join us. I see a few other C-3's around here.

I love them Cragars.. I used to have them on my 69' (sold) and my 68'... However - the Cragars are a little bit on the heavy side for racing.. that's why I replaced them with 14.5 lbs Centerline Auto Drags..

:cheers:
