SODA Eustis drag races- who's going?

**Scream And Fly** · 07-12-2023, 03:00 PM

It's looking like the Eustis SODA Summer Showdown races will be a big event. I'll be there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday shooting photos and videos. The plan is to also run two live streams of the event on Facebook as well as Instagram, which will also be linked here.

Hotel is the Key West Resort on Lake Dora. Use group rate ‘SODA’

I am thinking about organizing a small lake run on Friday. If this sounds good, reply with your thoughts!

I'll probably bring some new props with me for people to try out if they want and other stuff.

Ill be there, and for the Friday fun run also.

For anyone new to Lake Eustis and the Harris Chain of Lakes, reach out to me for advice, assistance and hospitality! I have a boat dock, and a beach for launching, on Lake Dora.

I’ll be there on Friday afternoon. Going to be shooting a lot of photos and video. The plan is also to run a live stream as well, which should be fun. It’s been as while since I covered drag races so I’m looking forward to getting back into it. If any of you want to find me there just text or call me 239-297-4264.

I'll see If I can find someone to stay with Sue for a two days?

Just found out yesterday they will opening up the stub and cleaning out the infection AGAIN, It's still draining so that means infection,

not sure If she is staying in hospital, talking about a wound pump again also.

Two months ago she did not want the amputation, she wanted to come back home and die, the infection was in her blood,

So I text her sister and between the two of us we got her to have the leg removed, we thought that was it...

They wanted to train me to change the dressing on the wound, I said it's still leaking you need the nurse to keep coming, every two days

an nurse stops over to change bandage, this chit has been going on for three years, three knees, amputation now what!

I just had a Vertebroplasty procedure done to an vertebrae compression fracture, from being kicked in the back by a drunk...

Two types of cancer, radiation, arthritis galore, spine , neck, the business, Sue's issues...

Tell me about Retirement?

New Guy from NC hoping to be there. I'm trying to make a road trip out of it. I'm looking for an Allison bass boat: XB2002, 21' single side console or XB2003, turnkey or just boat/trailer. Hoping to be able to check out some listed boats while going to &/or from the race. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys/gals.

I really hope the wind is calm for this event, I was on lake Eustis near this ramp last weekend and it was whitecaps. Anyone know why they move it from Tavares to this location?

**Scream And Fly** · 07-27-2023, 08:31 PM

I'll be there tomorrow afternoon and all weekend of course shooting photos and videos. If anybody wants some extra photos let me know which boat is yours. I'll; be able to get everybody though
