Well, it has been a long hot summer, and it is nice to be back in Florida to race at Moroso Motorsports Park. It is always nice to come back to Moroso, but we made the decision to bring the Miss Ta Fire out of retirement so it was extra special. We had some special guests that came down to hang out with us. Bob made the trip from Daytona to take some AWESOME photos of the ole' girl. It felt great to watch her shine again this weekend. The fans were also excited to see her back in action.
We were there for the All Ford Show. I was racing the Thriller jet dragster, the funny cars came out to play as well, Firepower and Rocky Mountain Thunder took their turns to Blast down the quarter mile. But that is not all, the Wheel Standers came out as well, Danny O'Day with the Super Wench and Billy Moffett with the Bottoms Up. Elvis came out to make some test runs. As you can see, it was great weekend.
Saturday Night Danny invited us down to enjoy big stories, this is what drag racing is all about, sitting around the pits and talking about the good ole' days. What a night. The next morning we went to the RFC service and then back to racing. The wind was really strong so they cut the racing to 1/8 mile. The Miss Ta Fire made her laps and it was time to put her back in the trailer for a while. I don't believe she will run again until next year, but it was fun to blow the cobwebs out.
We made it home in time to put Andrew to bed for school the next day. No time to rest, we have a race in Gulfport Mississippi, the annual Ford vs Chevy where I will be racing Thriller again.
Thanks to my AWESOME crew that always does a great job. Bob, you are the best, and Chris, hope you had fun at homecoming. See you on the road.
