    home for good..

    stay tuned for pics and other info..

    what a great event. Fantastic people..interesting locations..boatloads of history, and plenty of feel good moments.

    The Miata ran like a champ all week from Waterbury to independence, OH to Bangor and back..and there were plenty of people in the Fireball that were impressed with the car...including the guy with 4 entries and over $4million worth of Lambo..Ferrari..Ford GT and Devon...in the event.

    Wish more Miata folks were able to come out and meet us along the way, but the ones that did were deeply appreciated...including the 23 cars that came out as part of the car show in Waterbury.

    I missed you coming through my home town of Amesbury MA, on your way up to Bangor ME. Looks like everyone had a great experience.

    Amesbury was GREAT!!...once we got into the Market Square area the place was PACKED with people...kids everywhere...schools were closed..cheerleaders all over...

    We were in a long line of cars waiting to be parked, so i hopped out to do the Mission...some Hat place with lots of trains set up also..got my picture, and my complimentary hats, and ran back to sign in. meanwhile, my partner Chris was in the line, top down in the drizzle, and some kid asked for a ride, so in hopped the kid, and up on the rollbar...then the cheerleader hopped into the seat! Couple hundred yards later he parked. Crowd went nuts. Outstanding hospitality by the Town and fantastic lunch. WE were not there long, but Amesbury made an impression on the Fireballers...

    We passed out lots of cards, flyers and atomic Fireball candy..(we were the ONLY team that had that!!) And Brass City Kitty stickers to a bunch of cheerleaders and kids.

    Well done Amesbury....and feel free to pass this comment along to City officials.

    OK..how about an update...

    I just returned from orlando..debut of the Fireball run film at the orlando film Festival...

    One mazdaRoadster guy made it over (different thread)

    But..i spent some time on Saturday evening with a representative of the AMESBURY, MA chamber of commerce...AMESBURY will be the FINISH CITY FOR THE FIREBALL RUN IN 2016


    And get this folks...WATERBURY, CT WILL BE THE START CITY IN 2015

    The Waterbury CofC president was at the Film Festival...that was the REAL formal announcement...but it was locally announced back in March...

    the 2015 Fireball will run from Waterbury all the way down the coast to Melbourne, Florida...5 Celebrity Astronaut teams from various countries will be participating...



    As of this year..the Fireball Run has helped to locate 42 Missing Children across the country...THAT is what this event is all about...
