Looks like the storm will clear the state late at night on Friday, so we should be good on Saturday. Still shows 40% of rain for Saturday, typical Florida day. Should be a lot of fun. Hopefully no one got scared off because of this little storm

 

well i'm sure most people are still waiting until friday to make their call. Stupid storms always like to ruin ****.

 

Yeah.....don't let this thing scare anyone off.. It looks like the storm will be at its furthest point west if it decides to turn.. Saturday's weather in central Fl. will be better than tomorrow as the storm passes over the state and into the Gulf. Unless the storm makes an erratic change I hope no one is chickening out. Rey it looks like I am packin a bag and hangin out all night! No fishin' on sunday!

 

Im puttting my turbo on today when I get off work. as long as all goes well and car is running good ill be heading up tonight to avoid the rain and ill be there for the meet!!!!!

PLEASE PREY FOR MY CAR!!!!!!

 

Sweet!!! I'll make some room for ya man!

 

Josh, let me know how that all turns out. I got David over here running around town to get my brother's old fuel pressure regulator, MSD box, and his old ECU to get his car up and running. I think you two guys should have a bet on who will get their TII up and running first. Do you still have my number? Give me a call when you get into town man.

 

No Rey I dont have your number. Id bet bet David!!!!! LOL Im 99% sure after I get the turbo she will start right up...it started right up befor I took off so it better!!!!!!! and I think David has school till like 7:00 and I get off work at 4:30......but as long as were both running I could careless who is fist. LOL

my # is 941-585-4893 give me a call some time tonight rey then ill have your # I wont be in town till about 10:00 or so.

 

man i don't know what to make of all these weather reports... 50-70% chance of rain and crap... but it doesn't look like the storm will be over or close enough to touch any of orlando... prolly just some squalls might run through there.. i'm just gonna hold off until friday before i make my judgement i guess. I'd really like to come, but if this gets rained out.. its gonna be a real damper.

 

haha, sounds good. Well believe it or not he's actually off today and just got all the stuff he needs to be ready. I left you a message btw.

 

this just in...... It will be nice and sunny on Saturday August 27th in Orlando Florida. OVER and OUT! Chief Meteorologist: Rey "rafty" Lorenzo Now back to your regular scheduled programing....

 

I can't win them all can I? Stay safe and do what the doctors tell you Brian. I don't think that includes erratic weather forecasts - besides Ryan is the meteorologist, so that's his job.

OK, here's some more thoughts from me on the meet:

I have to be back in Tampa by 4 PM Saturday. There's no way around it, it's just something I have to do. As such, I will probably be leaving Race Rock around 2 PM.

We are confirmed for Race Rock. They can only block off 75 spots. So if you are the 76th person, you will have to find an alternate place to park. I was told more than once they will be vigilant about this. Anymore than that, and they will start TOWING CARS. I repeat, they will start TOWING CARS.

For lunch - I suggest people go in small groups when they are ready to eat. Hopefully some people will want to eat right away and some will wait until 2 or 3 PM. This is what I told Race Rock and they thought it was the best course of action; they will beef up there staff a little on Saturday to accomodate this.

There may be a surprise for you all on Saturday. Some details have to be arranged, but that's all I will say. I have no control over whether the surprise is there or not, but I wanted to give you a teaser.

The weather - yes, we live in Florida. It rains, and there's these hurricanes that strike from time to time. Barring torrential downpours Saturday morning here in Tampa, I will be coming to Orlando. Saturday afternoon could very well be just fine if Katrina is back out in the Gulf tomorrow night or early Saturday morning. Cross your fingers, and like your local weatherman always tells you, keep checking for updates.

 

whell i wont be able to go

 

I can't make it either. This damn hurricane closed the Port of Palm Beach for 2 days so we have to load the ships that we usually do on Thurs - Fri, on Sat - Sun.

 

We are still coming from Cocoa. My wife is bringing her rx-8(Monique) and (Lyle) is coming with an FD.

Guys its all going to depend on how far west this thing tracks..If it turns up the west coast its going to be a monsson.. Although not the forcast. Supposed to stay offshore a ways therefore we should only see an occasional shower. Keep your eyes on the track. DONT GIVE UP YET!!!

 

ive got my fingers crossed!!!!

 

WTF?! Damn, I take it Tommy won't come up either?

 

Awesome!

 

Well i got Saturday off without even asking for it. Another co-worker will be covering my shift, so I'm definently available for this event.

 

still coming as far as i know. Looks like Katrina will be in the gulf by friday night.. leaving us with normal florida weather.

 

also to quote Carlos:

 

CAR IS RUNNING AND IM IN ORLANDO!!!!!! I have made it YAY!!!!
Rey just wanted to let you know car stoped smoking after I drove it a little more!

 

5am weather update..Looks like the storm is continuing west as projected. Even jogged a bit to southwest. Still is expected to turn. Looks good for the meet still. The storm should be out in open water while we are having fun!

 

That's what I figured it would do since you hadn't really driven it in a while. Good to hear you made it alright. See you tomorrow!

 

Yeap, the storm has missed us! See you out there tomorrow!
