OK, I have finally found some time to write my thanks on here.
To start with, Rick you are in good companay because I too have come home with a stinking cold ! I went with the trail end of one but never had any smypthoms whilst there, only for it to strike with a vengence on returning home.
Ok, firstly thanks to Matt Harper for booking the room for us close to the airport. The hotel was great. A big thanks for the evening out, the company, food and beer was great and you are good man for picking up the tab. I hope you enjoyed the Guiness over at Turn 10. Sorry that 6 were boxless, but I had a box failure whilst moving them from the car to the motorhome.
Martini, great to meet you and thanks for the vodka and for not snoring as loudly as you had warned me about.
Canada Phil, Geoff, Steve, Gab and Pidge, as always, a pleasure to see you guys again. Rick and Doris, nice to meet you for the first time and hopefully not the last.
Gab, Phil and Pidge , thanks for the help putting up Martini's tent as I would never have got it up on my own.
Pidge, thanks for the great breakfasts as ever and all the help around the camp site.
A big thank you to Dave , Mary , Katie and Lucy and Pidges other family for making the trip and making it so special for Pidge with the Trophy, banner and hats.
Greg, nice to meet you again.
Fax, Dave H and Matt, always a pleasure to see you guys at the races.
Well over to Turn 10, where to start.
Randy, thanks for all your help with the equipment for everybody.
Team Impala, you guys are legends and keep up the good work next year. Randy , Mike and Greg, I salute you. Thanks Greg for the Turn 10 shirt.
Jupiter John, you rock dude, thanks for the hospitality but I am still not sure what you like so much about my postings on here.
Norm, Sandy, Ronnie, Rick and the many others that I can remember, you guys are great and fun to hang around with.
Peiter and Julian, great to meet you, you are wild people.
Anne AKA Vettefan, thanks for your company on the way down and for getting that Yankies hat for me. Glad it all worked out with the camera in the end.
Last but not least, I very big thankyou to Lee Self and his lovely wife Jerry. What can i say, Sebring would not be the same without you two. Thanks for the company, the use of your photovest during night practice ( That blew me away). Thanks for the slideshow, brilliant as ever and thanks for the posters of your artwork.
Finally a very big thankyou for the invite over to your house after the hockey game on Sunday night. It was a lovely way to finish off the weekend. The BBQ was first class and I can honestly say that it was the tastiest meal I have had for a long time. Just wish I room room for a second helping. Sorry for keeping you up so late, and i must admit, staying awake on the drive back to Tampa was a struggle too.
It was a real honour to become only the second member of Club Arnage to visit your home after Randy.
Finally, I big thankyou to the following people who donated items for a charity auction,
James Weaver, Andy Wallace, Johnny O Connell, Max Papis / Corvette Racing, Allan McNish / Audi, Cadillac Racing and Aston Martin Racing and David Brabham for throwing his podium hat in my direction.
