The Eckerd Sebring Grand Prix, Sunday Jan.30th, 2000

NSX member Rick Bernard graciously invited me to participate in a corporate outing sponsored by his company and their vendors for managers and executives of Eckerd Drugs, one of the largest drug store chains in the Southeast.  Rick assembled a team of instructors and car enthusiasts for a wonderful day of track events ranging from go-karts to street cars to four Formula Mazdas (one owned by yours truly).  Here are some of the photos from the event.
