With the threat of rain to leave us by 11:00 a dozen or
so cars lined up at the Wal-Mart on Osceola Parkway to head out
for the annual run to
Don Garlits Drag
Racing Museum in Ocala. We were to pick up Bert & Ernie at the
Service Plaza at Turkey Lake.
Just after 8:30 Tony & Sharon were
waiting in the parking lot in "Lucy" their '69 Ranchero. Steve Mc
arrived just after they did. By the time Linda & I got there in out
Corvair there were several cars waiting. "Mustang Mike" would meet us on
the Turnpike, he had the DJ trailer in tow.
Joe & Andrea were in a daily driver as
were Scott & Cindy, Greg & Mindy were in their Camaro. Paul & Betty in
their Mustangs, Jack in his '66 Mustang Coupe, and Gary & Wanda in
"Remember When". We all made our way to the Toll Plaza, led by Tony our
Cruise director, and on to the Turnpike. That was about it for Linda &
I, our fan belt broke in two, we did have a spare and we were able to
get back on the road, however we now did not have a "Spare". I was very
frustrated and we headed for home. The caravan would pick up Bert and
"Ernie" at Turnkey Lake as well as Padget in his GTO Judge.
It is hard for me to write any
further, I wasn't there but reports have it that a good time was had by
all. "Mustang Mike" had a drawing and a 50/50. Bert & Ernie won the
50/50 of $37. Tony took home the tool set supplied by Auto Zone in Saint
Cloud.
