Racer Introduction Banquet

Fresh Pix from Florida revealing the racers intro Banquet and the rules meeting. All teams are announced and given a chance to wave to their fellow competitors at the banquet. Each racer is also given a necklace charm. For each race, participants can add gemstones to the official race charm. The fly-by and timing rules are very important and detailed so this is a good meeting. The crew reports the plane seems very 'spirited' and they are looking forward to a competitive chance. In that light, they are shedding excess baggage weight and will be shipping it separately. Looks like this is going to get FUN!! More pix by 0900H 6/21/10 of Bev and Teresa's visit to Sanibel Island, Florida. Cheers!
