Joe... Im originally from south florida. I moved up here in 96. Ive ran my old cars in WPB and miami hollywood til they closed it.. I remember there was like a 2 week winter closing every year..lol I still have a few friends from down there. You know Ronnie wilson with the 7 sec mustang? He and I stay in touch and have been friends prolly since the late 80s. I also know alot of the guys that were at Wilson manifolds(keith wilson and his brother Russ) I even talked to Russ Jung the other day! Im not sure if you were around back then but I worked at a company that built drag cars right off of dixie close to prospect called Bobby Austin Race Cars.... I work for a A little(lol not little at all) race team now called Don Schumacher Racing.

Im wanting to run this rag since I got the front end aligned and now this crap!!!!
LOL what a small world. I moved from St. Louis (midwest) to S. Fla in 01 to the new neighborhood just south (walking distance) from the old Hollywood Sportatorium.

I don't know any of those folks, but if you come down to visit sometime let me know. You won't believe the new PBIR from what it used to be at Moroso...it's really a world class place now. And we even have a 1/8 mile track at the old Opa Locka West touch & go airport out on 27 at Krome. It's frankly a dump but I love it. Close, cheap, and fun.

Very cool on your new job!!! That's awesome. Wait a minute.....aren't you guys down here in January for testing??? I'd love to come up and say hi if it's possible.

I run the fabrication department so I dont have to travel(which I consider a good thing) but I do get down there every once in while. I have been at DSR for 5 1\2 years now. I have never met in person Jeremy from HP sales but we have spoke quite a few times on the phone..

Cool. Jeremy and his dad Roger are good friends of mine. Next time you are down we all have to hook up.
