Orlando Vette Meet Date Set!!!
For those of you who are new to this subject, we will be having a Vette show & shine, drag race and general get together at Speed World in Orlando, Florida. The date set is Friday October the 7th. There will be a large area for parking/showing your Vette. For those that wish to run on the strip, you can do that too. I want to make it clear that this event is mostly about Vette folks getting together. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RACE! We will be working on getting some sponsors to provide trophies for both the racers and the show cars. The track charges $10 for spectators and $5 more if you plan on racing. There are no additional fees associated with this event. All Vettes are welcome. All spectators are welcome. Make sure you let all of your Vette friends know! E-mail me, IM me or just reply to this post if you need anymore information regarding this event. Mark it on your calender:
Friday October 7th- Vette Meet @ Speed World Orlando

Maybe.. if I have a new clutch in by then.. Right now, it wouldn't even be fun with the sticky pedal. I'm trying the master cylinder route first (needs to be changed anyways), but will be buying the Textralia OZ-700 here soon...

Chris: Gotcha! I think that's (she) plenty of motivation for the move. Yeah, please let all of the leghumpers know to.
Steve: Get it fixed man! This is bound to be fun. I know, the ricers are annoying, but they'll have to sit there and wait while us fast guys run!!!

did someone say "FL leghumpers" ?!?!
sounds like a good night! i will def. be there. dont think i will run though.
steve we have too much work ahead to run. we both need clutches, and running at bithlo on street tires is pointless. still should be a great night to go hang out and watch some races!
