Home For the Winter

Our month and a bit away from home was a pleasant respite from the cold dreary weather at home, at least that is what we thought. Apparently the weather over the last month or so, specially Thanksgiving was extraordinary. Regardless, I am now looking forward to those cold, blustery winter days when I am warm and snug, buried in my hobby room or in the garage. I especially like those cold winter Monday mornings when I can roll over in bed and give the world the finger.
Our last event at Road Atlanta was a great finale to our season end. The awards banquet was outstanding with Messrs Williams and Woerhle doing an outstanding job of co-emceeing the event.

Our longtime friends, Bob and Diane Harrington retired from their respective SVRA positions and now look forward to weekends camping in their new mobile home with Charlie and the grandchildren. Bob and Diane were both presented with parting gifts by Bob and Linda Williams.

One down side to the weekend was the injury to driver Rob Mocas. Rob sustained severe injuries to his right lower leg when a drive shaft coupling failed on his Alfa Romeo. Quick response by a lady corner worker saved the incident from turning into a tragedy. Rob will be undergoing months of surgery and rehabilitation. We wish Rob all the best for a speedy and successful recovery.

Later this week I intend to get back to the Banana. So much to do and so little time. In four months we will be back to Florida to start our 2009 season with SVRA. A new event has been added this year and along with Sebring, we will now be travelling to West Palm Beach Motorsort Park for an event. New track.....whoopee! We are now up to nine events so we will not be spending much time at home between March and October.
