    WRP had a great time at our latest event in St. Petersburg Florida. You will not believe the cars that were at this show, by far the premier event in North America. As an example they had not 1 but 3 of the 1.5 million dollar Bugatti's, 3 Enzo Ferrari's, 1 FXX Ferari (my opinion the sickest car at the show). A 1 off Mercedes SLR, the McLaren F1 seemed old school. The Cuda in these pictures had a 2000 HP drag motor, listening to the guy trying to move it was funny.

    And I just had to throw in a couple pics of a turbo RX7 for Nate.

    We are still in Florida, sitting on the beach during the day. We are here to run our Sims in the sponsor area at the Indy Car race this weekend. Derek is also meeting with a couple of teams to talk about driver development program. Its a long shot but what the heck.

    Looks like hard work :)

    Smart for Derek to talk to some teams. You never know unless you ask.

    We've got heavy snow warnings forecast for tonight, we'll see if we can save some of it for when you get back.

    Have a safe trip and try not to get into trouble.

    F1 is still king, baby. 2500 lbs? Let's see any modern supercar touch that.

    The sound was incredible, the only thing close was the Merc or maybe the FXX. They drove these down the sidewalk right next to us, a few of them needed gentle revs to keep them running.
