Roll call for "The Rock"

Garmon's Ol' Blue, could that be the same blue RX7 with the yellow wheels?? If so, I believe there might be a track record by that car to uphold. Sounds like some mighty big ports, I mean shoes, to fill!!

Hmmm, Scott's taking our silver SPU Baby Grand to this event. Let me check the logbook for the RX-7, even though it hasn't had yellow wheels since before we bought it, if ever ... [steps away to find the log book] ... hmmm ... the original tech inspector didn't date the original approval but the first entry is a Buccaneer Region safety inspection 16 FEB 96 ... when originally approved the car was white, don't know when it got painted blue ... nope, no Garmons listed as either owner or driver.
 
I was considering going - had the hotel booked, map quested the route, paid the $$ to Ginny. But my Rex suffered a nasty stomach virus and puked its coolant all over the floor. I was hoping the freeze plugs were the problem. I wasnt so lucky. It appears the center housing is trashed. (sigh!)

And my spare 12A is down on compression.

Maybe I'll be back in time for CMP. :(
 
Random thoughts from the Garmon Perez crew:
- Jeff Young: car looked really good
- Ricky T: drove three different cars and ended with a 1st, 2nd, and a 3rd. Is he good or is he great?
- Rex and Justin: had a wonderful father/son weekend
- Dennis Fortune: showed up with his Monte Carlo show car with most recent trophy in tow.
- Allen Buie: is he the best crew chief in IT-7 ?
- Pepe: is he the new Ricky T in IT-7?
- Grover: what about that bumper?
- Heather: the girl is the best female racer in the south east
- Bob Garmon: had a big race in SM, not bad for a 68 year old champion
- Uncle Jack: had a front row seat on driver's left in turn 6.
- [There were some Precious moments because there needs to be.]
- NCR should seriously consider more races at the Rock
 
It was a great weekend and Scott neglects to mention he raced great too. Had a lot of fun, really good to see Rex take home a 2nd and Justin finish solid his first weekend out.
