I go to Tampa often. Usually to the malls or record stores. Sometimes we go to the clubs in Ybor. I'll send you a PM next time!

I'm in Jacksonville. We should gather up some folks with similarly performing vehicles and do a dyno session or something.

The Melbourne area would be pretty much the middle ground in Florida. Not too bad a drive for any Floridians except maybe the Pensacola people.

Orlando seems to be a middle ground for a central florida meet. equal distance from both coasts and centrally located in the state.

So let's first decide where and when. I'll pretty much go anywhere. And I think my schedule is open too. Maybe after the holidays? Middle of January? Weather is nice then too.

I'm down with that, but I think central FL would be better for everyone.

Although I'm a newbie, and I live in CO, I was planning on going down to the Boca area the middle/end of Jan. If the meet is when I am down there you can count me in (if nobody minds). I'll even have and AMG to bring!
