R & R for Larsen Motorsports

After not having a vacation for 3 years, we decided it was time to get away. I booked a cruise a couple of months ago and we have been counting down ever since. We have found that if we stay close to home we end up leaving early and coming home to work. Not a good thing for vacation. So a cruise it was. We went with some friends and left out of Miami on a Carnival Cruise ship the Valor. It stopped in Nassau Bahamas, St. Thomas and St. Martin. We then were at sea for the rest of the 7 days. I have never eaten so much in my whole life. I have to get back to my normal weight for the up coming race in a couple of weeks.

While we were in Nassau, we swam with the dolphins. Now it sounds really nice, but they are a little intimidating. This coming from someone who isn't afraid to blast down the quarter mile at speeds over 270, but when it comes up to you and makes all of that noise, you think it is going to peck your eyes out with its nose. Over all unfortgettable.

Then in St. Thomas we went to a beach to snorkel. What beautiful water and the fish were everywhere. We also did some shopping. Then to St. Martin. Chris and his friend Jim got off the ship and did an excursion where they raced sailboats on a team. Of course their team won.

Then we headed out to sea for a couple of days getting back to Miami. All in all a wonderful vacation. But by the last day, we were starting to get antsy and ready to get home and get back to work.

It is overwhelming all of the work that just sits and waits for you. I started the new website www.lmsjets.com before we left. If you haven't checked it out, make sure you do so. We also received a phone call that the Horsepower TV show that we filmed back in March aired the first weekend in June. I of course missed it, but have a copy coming from my good buddy Frankie!!! There also was a press release made about our new Embry-Riddle jet dragster. We have received so much positive feedback. I can't wait to take it out to the track.

I guess that is it for now. Check out our schedule. I would love to see you at the races.
