The Official FLORIDA Thread

travisjb · 02-10-2011, 10:26 AM

We have one of these for Arizona where we talk about local events, local shops and what-not... I'm moving to Florida next month so thought I'd start an official Florida thread!

Jump in and contribute however you like - I have no plans to moderate or limit content...

Selfishly, however, I'd like to hear from people about autocross and road course racing and time trial events... Which tracks do you run at, with which clubs, what shops do you use, etc.

Cheers!

We're located in central Florida

if you guys need anything let me know. Plus we'd be interested in throwing a Nissan/Infiniti meet (370z, 350z, GT-R, G35, G37, etc) in the near future let me know what you guys think.

Welcome to FL!

CFRC isn't really doing the road course thing anymore. It's mostly drag racing and drifting.

The only two tracks I've done in FL are Sebring & Daytona. Lots of organizations run Sebring, so just keep an eye out for the info. Daytona, not so much, so if you get the opportunity, jump on it.

For autocross, check out the SCCA site. I know there's a group over in your area, but I'm not sure about the details.

Since you're moving to the west coast, you should check out the Z Club of Florida. They are a very active group based in Tampa.

Also, not sure when you'll be getting here, but if it's before May you should definitely make plans to attend ZDayz up in NC. ZCon and Z Nationals will also be coming up in a few months.

Ditto, we use to host road course events at CFRC but drag and drift took over since it brings out more people thus more cash for the owner. Quite a pity actually. Anyways go with Sebring or Daytona

Sounds fun! Keep us posted!

Since you will be in and around the tampa area you can visit www.zclubofflorida.net. Originally it was a 350z club but has expanded and seems to be getting large. I just joined last month but have met a great group of individuals and they get together all the time. They usually have the hookup of what is going on around the area.

I mean we don't have anything planned but if you guys want to get something rolling I can definately make things happen. We haven't done a meet in about a year but we'd like to start them up again.

Check out or last major meet:

we're thinking of either throwing one in March/April... though it might be too hot by then, or if not later after August somewhere in September or October when its cooler. We've thrown meets all around the year and turnout is always at its best during the cooler months, let me know what you guys think

Ive been seeing a lot of 370's this past week here in Miami. Three blacks, a red, silver and a 40th.

tranceformer · 02-15-2011, 06:37 PM

oh herro!

KamiSpeed · 02-16-2011, 12:03 PM

no but seriously, does anyone have a preference to a time of year they want a meet?

travisjb · 02-16-2011, 01:59 PM

April-May would be my vote

Juno · 02-17-2011, 12:21 AM

Yeah, if it's cold, I won't go, and to me "cold" is below 70. LOL

Niche79 · 02-17-2011, 09:57 AM

Hey guys, im kinda new here and thinking of buying one pref used in the next few months. Im in Florida as well but up in no mans land aka Pensacola. Ive only ever seen 2 or 3 floating around here and they are all old men and one older woman. Im guessing the meet scene is all down in south florida? I really wanted to see a few but being as there are basically none here Im kinda stuck. Fortunately the gf and I are planning to be married July '12 after she finishes her Residency at the hospital and were looking at the Southern FL region. Anyhow, any tips would be appreciated as where the cars are at and perhaps in a few months, i will be able to just drive to S FL for those meets. Thanks guys
