The black Dallara is owned by Bob Martin from Ky. I know he visits Xweb on occasion, but doesn't post much.
Bob is know as a luker, but does not have an account. He was at my house in May and attended my Son's wedding. Here are a few pictures of his car in my shop. We did some engine work and replaced the carpet in his car at this time as well.Thanks...
It may seam far but trust me it will be worth it if you ever thought about going to Disney bring the family and remember you don't have to have a car at freak out fly and come out and hang with everyone we had 10 to 15 members that still came without their cars they hated it but still hade a great time. And trust me it is a lot of work I am looking to pull one off here in central PA within the next three years tons of work, but to see the cars and friends is great. It has been rumored rooms will be $123 a night which normally charges over $400. I know the chapter Prez in Florida.Orlando? Wow. That's a two day drive from STL. I really missed out on a close event this year.
UPDATE: Just to clarify. It takes a dedicated crew to pull off an FFO and I don't want to take anything away from the Orlando organizers. There wouldn't be an annual FFO if someone didn't step up to host. Orlando is a great place for an event since there is a lot to do. My disappointment is solely related the distance from home. Of course, I am sure there are folks who feel the same way every time the next venue is announced.
I hope to see you there I am bringing the X using the auto train out of Lorton VAOrlando is relatively close (in FFO terms) to where I live, but other than the fact that it would likely make for a nice double-up/bring-the-family kind of trip, I'm not a big fan of central FL any time of the year, but especially late summer. That said, I'm sure it will be a great event, with good folks, good times & I am already planning on going.
Ed, even being in Orlando next year we got it made we can take the Auto Train from Lorton VA to Summerville FL. which just leaves us an hour drive to Orlando.Yeah, I am bummed that I didn't go.... Although driving cross country in this heat would have been brutal...
Dan,It was too far for me to want to drive the car there....I was toying with the idea of trailering but then the tow vehicle I was going to use, my brother's 2014 F250 diesel pickup (which has so much torque 800+ ft-lbs! it would not even know that it had an X on a trailer behind it) decided to tell the main computer that the diesel catalyst system was not working and required the entire unit under the truck to be replaced, NOT under the extended warranty mind you, for over $5,000.
That truck got dropped like a hot potato and traded in on a 2017 F150.
Dan,
FFO next year their is the auto Train about two hours south of you in Lorton VA. it takes you and your car to Summerville, FL which leaves about an hour drive to Orlando.

...On another note, Fiats Up North will be end of September in western Wisconsin (Dodgeville), which is like a mini, low cost FFO with a fair number of the same people. OK about 25 of them but still There is even a crazy hat contest and we usually have free giveaways. T shirts are usually available as well.
Karl,
Please tell me more about this... Perhaps it warrants a separate thread.
Thanks,
Brian
