Hey guys, theres all these great meets happening in Tampa and Orlando...but now that I'm here, is there any love for Gainesville? If I organized a meet in August, who would be up for driving up here? We have a great group of cars up here that's still growing and getting better. I would love to get some of you guys up here. If you would be interested in something in mid August, post your name on the rollcall (under the appropriate section and list your ride) so I can start planning and getting a good location.

For those of you who have posted saying that you're interested, please put your name under the appropriate categories I have listed on the original post and repost it. Thank you.
A location is tentative right now. I'm considering holding the meet at Best Motor Works & Sports in town. I'm going to speak with them today and see if they have an interest in letting us hold a meet there.

I talked it over with Best Motor Works & Sports. They said they'd be happy to host it. Right now, I'm looking at August 26th as the tentative date. I'm going to try and work out details before the weekend and get this thing moving. There's enough room for about 40 cars to attend, and we're going to work on details for food, prizes, and maybe some tech sessions.

Why would we meet at Best Motorworks Ken??
There isn't much room there or even pavement...If we were getting our cars worked on then yea
Why dont we try to go to Ocala Grand Prix again if we can get a good price?

You haven't been there in a while. But Mickey repaved the side lot so there's no more potholes. We can fit about 15 cars in front of the building, on a Sat., he's going to get permission to use up the whole block so we can fit 15 more out front, and another 15 can fit on the side. We'll bust out with the BBQ and whatnot. He has a diagnostics machine now and he'll do little computer changes for free. We're gonna see if we can work out a raffle of some prizes and whatnot. I'm even going to talk to All Pro to see if we can get an M5 or something out there for us to check out.
Ocala Gran Prix is not feasible to rent out. They want far too much for too little time. We either will have too little people going and paying too much, or too many people going and not having enough time to get everyone out on the track.
I think it would be a fun event to meet at Best Motor Works.

Keep the list growing. Details will hopefully be worked out by the end of this month so we have plenty of time to prepare.
David, please add your name to the list. It will make it easier for me to contact everyone and get everything together if need be.

I would possibly think about going, but gainsville is a long way to ride with someone... Maybe if the meet was mid to late september I'd have a car by then :)
kpeng
06-18-2006, 04:33 PM
September is a possible option we're looking at right now but is VERY tentative. The reason being, we can coordinate this event to coincide with Best Motor Works & Sports' 3rd year anniversary.

Ah, yeah that's probably a better idea lol
kpeng

well, better for you, lol. my plan was for this to be the first Leistung meet of the new school year and start our year off with a bang.

I don't know what tentative and some of that stuff means so I was just agreeing with you hahahaha

06-18-2006, 04:45 PM

tentative means it's not for sure yet.
