How did the lap around track go? In other words did anyone get out of control to where they won't do it again next year?

Did you notice the cops in the pictures guarding the riders? I think they learned from previous experiences.

I did notice the cop... But I know that some people can't control themselves.
I wish they had done the lap earlier in the day. I had to weigh getting a lap around Daytona versus getting home at 5 am on a work day. Unfortunately sleep won over fun.

Started some where here:
http://centralfloridafieros...dex.php?topic=1641.0 I beleive those are Auto Zone or Advance Auto driving lights. If I recall correctly the cost was $35 for all four. I did noticed the wiring was professionally done.

Does anyone know the owners of those cars or who did the conversion on them? I think that may have to go on my chop!!! I saw that Pedro owned one. What about the gold one?

Luis owns the Gold convertable. Both he and Pedro are with the CFF club. You can contact them via the CFF forum.
