...just to drive "all the way west" to the sportatorium(and the drag strip) was considered out in the boonies. it was all by itself out there. dawn wells(mary-ann on gilligans island) owned, for many, many years, a cute-sey little bungalow/cottage right on the gulf, on the other side of the state. i'm think'n it was in the dunedin area. my mom used to go to her little sandwich parties she had in the winter months. dawn sold it a number of years ago & was very broke in recent years before she died in 2020...

...seemed like all of south florida was wide open, with so much freedom & open land when we were young. all white sand everywhere & australian pines. racing, yes...darrell gwynn & wife lisa are old friends. knew darrell before lisa. she was miss miami. great woman. she became a nurse, then studied hard and became a doctor. many dinners with them. we would all go to the keys & stay at dick moroso's new home, which was built to take a catagory 11 hurricane i think...lol...
