Randomness – Fatlace™ Since 1999

Haven’t been up to too much car stuff lately. Winter and off season is def boring. I have been counting down the days till the Gardella racing crew and I take off for Abu Dhabi at the end of February. I have still been keeping busy but it’s more work than play.

I got this cool shot of the financial district outside on my Balcony.

I headed to the PRI show in Orlando, FL for the first time. It was a lot of fun. Way more relaxed than the SEMA show. Saw some friends I don’t normally get to see during the season. I forgot to take pics but here are a few.

I lost a bet to my buddy Josh, who lives in Orlando, years ago. I have owed him a dollar for atleast 3 years, so I finally paid him.

I had to sign it of course.

Here is one I got of this old Rally Porsche. I think late 70’s early 80’s? Not sure what the deal was with the surf board.

The coolest thing at PRI was this amazing virtual simulator (Not a Video Game). It had 4 hydraulic cylinders all controlled by computers to give you the sensation of racing on a real track. It was the closest feeling I have ever had to being on a real track. All the inputs were very quick. I raced the Ring. Didn’t do to bad for the 4 minutes they were allowing each person. It would probably take about 30 or 40 minutes to get used to it to really start burning some laps. Wish I had the Cash to spend on one of these things. So Rad. Check out their site Cruden

That was it for PRI. Thanks Gary for bringing me out.

The second I got home it was time for an X-mas tree decoration party that my roomates planned. This year we found a 12foot X- mas tree. I wasn’t home when they dragged the tree 12 stories up the side of our building to our apartment but it seemed like a good time. Haha.
