Figure we could do a cars and coffee style parking lot takeover or similar. Open to ideas

There's also a car show coming up in a month on 5/13 at the Gainesville Raceway that we could all meet at. Here's the link https://gainesvilleraceway.com/racing/. Lmk
It's past time to get together again. We met up a few times in West Palm at the old drag strip, then the Wuhan Flu hit. We were supposed to meet up again at Orlando Speedway. Gainesville is about 4 hours away for me and even further for Randy and Gary.

I haven't raced at Gainesville since the early 1990s.

These are just some of the folks that I know who live in Florida, somewhere. It's certainly not a complete list.

I am in Naples so Palm Beach is doable, Not Gainesville.
Agreed. I miss the barbeque meetups back in my Honda days.

I'm open to do Tampa or Orlando as well. Just a 2 hour drive

Not technically the right place for this, but anyone in Florida have a set of factory 17” crown Victoria P71 steel wheels for sale?

I can't ever seem to get a straight answer from Sebring whether they are racing or not on certain days. We've been going up to Orlando Speedway which is about halfway between I-95 and Orlando. We considered running the other night but the track was only open for some special event and they didn't want to go without me. Too bad as it was in the 50s that night!

From where we live, close to I95 and the Turnpike, it's about even time wise to drive to either track. Sebring is 1/8th mile, OSW is 1/4 mile.

How's about Jan/Feb in the Daytona area? Could even meet up near the Rolex race or the 500 weekend if lots are in town for those races....wife works for NASCAR so we're always there.

I have crewed at the Rolex a few times ( R/R tire changer )... FUN !! But, to enjoy the Rolex, I like going to the "Roar Before Daytona" to "hang out..
The 500 is slightly crowded.....

Room prices during NASCAR are sky-high-stupid..... But I do have a beach-front / time-share in New Smyrna Beach. ( just south of Daytona)
