  Name: Paul WunderlichVehicle: staging (Moroso Speedway) Date: 11/11/2006 Comments: Good job! Photos are great, especially the stager!!
(Paul's "mug shot"
borrowed from FBI's (For those who don't know Paul, he stages the cars (and jets) at Moroso Speedway. He is the "crazy nut" pictured in lower left of Jet Truck photo that signals the jets when it's time to "blast off"! Paul is very well known & respected in drag racing as he has been staging cars since the days of Miami-Hollywood Speedway, back in the 70's! Paul's knowledge of racing is only surpassed by his good nature & fun loving spirit!) Paul, it's been my privilege to call you a "good friend" over the past few years! See you at the next show...and I think it's my turn to buy the beer! Glad to see you finally figured out how to work your computer! |

Great show Sunday. Photos will be available soon...
Nov 1: Welcome to November! What a great month of shows & cruise nights we just went through in October! It was impossible to make it to all the shows, since some ran at the same time, but it was great to have so many to choose from. November & December will be no exceptions, with some additional quality new shows being added to the mix this year. Watch for the new "Gulfstream Park" Benefit Classic Car Show on Nov 11, and the all new "Festival Flea Market 1st Annual Holiday Classic Car Show" on Dec 2, two of the biggest shows of the season. Russ has been working overtime on these events. Of course, we have the monthly "Dream Car Classic" in Hollywood on the 1st Sunday of each month, and the 19th Annual "Pompano Lincoln Mercury Classic Car, & Truck Show" in December. Also returning to the December line up is the Annual "Toys in the Sun Run" Bike & Car Show hosted by the "Cruisers of South Florida". The "Mopar Show" at Moroso Motorsports Park was also moved from Sept to December 10th this year. UPDATE: Dec 17 we will return to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino for the final car show of 2006. More details to follow. Show coordinator: Russ Gagliano. Cruise nights this season include "J.B. Locals Saturday Night Cruise" this weekend, the "Miami Lakes Mainstreet Veteran's Show" at the Mainstreet on Nov 11. Plenty to see & do! Go out and enjoy the good weather this time of season, and the great shows! Take care, Scott

Oct 29: When it comes to PERFECT days...they don't get any better than it was today! It was cool & sunny all day today at the Downtowner Halloween show, and plenty of folks came out to enjoy.

I'm heading to Moroso for Day 2 of the "Ford Power Fest". Lots to see and do. I'll have plenty of photos...see you there!
UPDATE: What a great day it was at Moroso! As I said,
Oct 11: Hi everyone! I missed most of you this past weekend...I was in Gainesville for Diane's "class reunion". The weather was cool & clear...down to the 50's. It was a nice getaway with the family too. Gas was $2.12 in Ocala. While I was away, I heard the "Road Knight's" show was a nice success, with a good turnout of cars. They always do a great job, and it was a benefit show for the kids.
Saturday night, Oct 14, you're invited to join us at the "Octoberfest" Car Show, brought to you by Jumpin' Jack and the City of Miami Springs. The show wraps around the park at the "Circle of Miami Springs", and always draws a large turnout. There will be awards for "Best Decorated" vehicles for the season, as well as a large TV raffle.

plenty to see and do, but the high point of my day was standing between to
roaring jet cars as they blasted off down the 1/4 mile! What a thrill!
It was like standing in a tornado with two solid walls of fire on each side!
The thrust and the pounding was relentless! Unfortunately, you can't
take photos directly from behind a jet. But I have a few directly from
in front, plus a full day of show cars & trucks, some fun people shots, and
some smokin bikini contest photos you won't want to miss. They should
be available sometime later this week. The band rocked us, the weather
was great, and it was a non-stop fun day!

Sept 24: Welcome to fall! On Sat, Sept 23, at 12:03 am, we reached the "autumnal equinox". That is where the sun appears to cross the celestial equator, from north to south; marking the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. As we come into fall here in So. Fla, we also come into "car show season"! While not out of hurricane season yet, we should start to enjoy better daily weather. For the next 2 months or so, we will have many great shows to enjoy.

Towershoppes Friday Night Cruise! |
|
Sept 24:
The rainy season has really be difficult for
many, and the "Towershoppes Friday Night Cruise" is no exception. In
an effort to keep S. Florida's largest cruise night |
alive, the fee to park at "Towershoppes "is being raised from $1 to a
"whopping" $2 starting Oct 6. The cost of city permits, management contract fees, insurance,
police protection, dj entertainment, & clean-up, all come at a price.
Most of the money needed to support this event is raised thru fees collected
from vendors, but with the loss of some of our bigger & smaller vendors in
the past few years, as well as the loss of a sponsor, the money needed has
to be raised somehow. Quite a bit of money has to be raised just to
break even. And if the guys busting their butts running the show are
lucky enough to make a few bucks that has to be split, on a good night...so
what! Do you think it's easy or fun having to collect from all the
cars that show up every Friday night, and having to deal with the city, the
management, and having to deal with the people & their problems that arise
every Friday night? Would you do it every week for nothing?
Believe me, if they could do the show without having to collect, they would
stop
in a heartbeat!. If you love your "classic car sport" like
I know most of you do... then feel "honored" to support this event, and
to support the
folks who work hard to keep it going! A full night of some of the best
fun
you can have with your car buddies... at about the cost
