    33C2A9F7-26AD-4670-98BE-1DFA1B70311A.jpeg Looks like I’m going to miss another one… I’ll plan for next year, maybe I’ll have a car to bring.

    Maybe my race partner, Alan will want to bring the 69, I’ll find out and possibly still make it.

    I checked earlier and my weather app says 24% for Saturday. But... this is Florida, so that could change the day before. :rolleyes:

    Fortunately I'm only about 40 miles away. You caravanning with John and his family?

    We are driving up Saturday morning also. I am trying to figure out what time I need to leave to get to the hotel on time. It appears there is a Lowes and Walmart very close to the hotel if a bigger parking lot is needed to stage the cars.

    I think to get the best parking we should roll in around 9 - 10 AM. Last yr we got a really good spot on the pavement. Everyone after us ended up on the grass or along the railroad tracks

    Sadly it's my anniversary weekend,28 years,so I won't be there. If there's a 72 GS Stage 1 there,green with GSX stripes, it's a car I sold a few years ago as a unfinished project. It's on Facebook but I'd be alitte cautious about it. The owner lives in Auburndale but since he bought it his "word" to me doesn't mean anything. I thought a decent guy that I'd know for awhile. Things sure can change. Enjoy your time, maybe next year it won't be on the 23.

    Well, if it was on my anniversary, I probably wouldn't be there either. Congrats to you both!

    Is the car you are referring to this one?

    What time you think we should roll out of the hotel or meeting place? I'm trying to gauge what time I need to wake up the neighbors...

    Id think around 9. Really depends on when we can all assemble.

    I'll try to start moving that way around 7-7:30 then, depending on the future assembly plan. That way I can suck down some more coffee when I get there.

    Good morning all,
    Looks like it is going to be a good weekend!!! NWS says 20% chance of rain after 2 PM. That's GREAT!
    Steve, AKA Briz, didn't mention it so I will. The Best Western hotel's address is 1008 US Highway 92W, Auburndale, Fl 33823
    Looks like we'll all be meeting up there at 9 AM from what I've read in other posts. Awesome!
    Can't wait to meet you all!
