If there is any difference, I hope someone will let me know so I can adjust my calendar accordingly.

FLSTEAM--JB,
Is the "Irony" of your question the proper word. Here you are in Florida asking about the Winter Meets dates but, someone in Northern Michigan has to give you the date info.

I just checked the FLS site and can`t believe what comes First. Not what (I) would consider more important info. A person would have to (think) scroll way down the page and Then, click on calendar of events, to see the Winter meet schedule. Well. If that isn`t pretty, not Dumb, I say downright STUPID!!

JB, understand, my thoughts are about the FLS site and as a member, right after this I shall make my thoughts known to the President. Is this the best we (Florida) can do!

FLSTEAM,
I Say, No Way, is it your bad. I think http://floridalivesteamers.com/ has a Discraceful website.

Why should anyone have to either look at all the RRs listed first or scroll way down to see what subject listed is of the best to them for info. In my opinion, the FLS site is a Shame to even be listed.
Maybe others will check the link. Agree or not, I speak My mind as a member and let the FLS President know it!!

Sorry you had trouble finding the calendar. I have asked Bob Moutray to see if the link can be moved above the track listings. What you are seeing now is the aftermath of a major cleanup of the web page and a few things are yet to be done. The application form, for instance, still says 2014. Bob has recently taken over the site maintenance and has put quite some time into it. We don't get much feedback and yours is helpful.

This is what I found. If anyone is interested in coming out to Tradewinds & Atlantic, please contact me at mike@livesteamers.org I can give you the address to the back gate instead of the hassle of coming through the front. We might be small but we know how to have fun at the track. 20-21 are our public run days. So you can run or haul passengers its upto you. Bruce comes over from Ft Myers usually on Saturday.

Mike
