Tampa/Orlando Area Event?

So after bringing a topic up about dealerships providing race day events, I was thinking, hey why not plan one... so would there be any takers on this? sometime in june? just give opinions and even places you know... i can call some places up, find some prices, use my indian powers to try to get some cheap prices ...


try to keep this on topic

Both suck. 2 years ago, I tried to rent out the Gainesville raceway's drivers course for a day for a mb meet. It's pretty cheap but I only got a few guys on this forum to pledge........ the rest gave me a "if I can make it" excuse. If you guys want to call them up and put it together, that would be awesome. You can generally work out a deal with them if you shoot it for a weekday. Weekends are pretty much solid and packed so forget that. Best of luck.

It seems to be very difficult to pull off any Orlando area meets. Hard to understand what the problem is here...I'd love to do some more 1/4 mile runs sometime.

Europeans used to drink wine as a substitute to water back in Pete's old days
I wasn't around back then...

I have a family member who still believes in that philosophy.

Back to topic, when is the meet ?
