Default Another Central Florida get together

Anyone interested in meeting up at one of the 1/4 mile drag strips?
Orlando Speedworld in Bithlo has their next Funday Sunday on Sept 9.
Bradenton has one on Sept 9th too, and also has a Saturday night version on August 18th, if we want to stay out of the heat.

Y'all up for it?
Take advantage of it before Speedworld closes down!

I am interested, but the Vette goes into the shop today for "Service Active Handling" issues....don't know if it will be back by then. What do you mean about Speedworld closing down?

Word has it that Speedworld will be closing down at the end of the year with their last race scheduled for 12/15. Check out Google and their website for more info. But they have talked about closing before.

Sounds like fun. I'm in for OSW. Funday sunday is usually packed though & never opens on time. From my experience if you get 2-3 runs in your lucky. We could meet at the twisty treat at 9am that day. Its on hwy 50 a couple of miles from the track.

The talk is some of the other car groups in Orlando are trying to set up a Sunday Cruise to the Cape... starting in LakeMary/Sanford driving the back way to hwy 50 and taking it to hwy 95 to the Cape. Hanging out at fishlips or Milikens. Anybody interested?

Hey Sean, as I texted you, I'd love to make it, but I'm out of town until Sunday. IF you want to try for next week, I'm in.

It seems we're getting more responses from the Orlando crowd. Lets shoot for the Orlando Speedworld in Bithlo Funday Sunday on Sept 9.
