You can go to google maps and click directions, then type in like melbourn, fl to ft lauderdale, fl and it will give you like an estimate since it doesnt know exactly where youre coming from.

[celica47]

THANKS bro....i plan on it...

[ExSane]

Okay, we need to plan the ORLANDO meet. Let's not even think about the Ft. Lauderdale meet right now. Geeze guys.

THE PLANS
Meet up sometime around Friday, and what?
Obviously we're going to the drag strip that night. Colin told me it was $10 to get in, and $15 to actually run your car. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Afterwards, we are going to go a HOTEL and do the whole drinking/party thing.

I need someone to find a hotel close to the drag strip where we can crash.

So. Who are the definites? Let's get a DEFINITE list going. This is for 9/1-9/2.

1. Jen
2. Casie
3. Gary
4. Joe
5. Stephen
6. Colin
7. Adam

We all could meetup Friday afternoon and I guess have lunch some where before we head out to the track. I don't know but we will figure something out. We always do. As for hotels/motels/inns goes, I have that resolved. Here you go Jen. http://www.speedworlddragway.com/maps-motels/ That is a major list of hotels near the drag strip. Also keep in mind that we need to stay in the ones WEST of the drag strip becuz that way we are closer to I-4. I guess me or Jen or both will have to scope out which one is cheapest.

[ExSane]

OK! I just did some homework here. As of right now, the best rates are... Hilton Garden Inn Orlando East/UCF $75.05 a night per bedroom and Crossland Economy Studios $73.99 a night per bedroom thus being the closer one to the drag strip. The others on the list are $80+ or doesn't have rooms available for check-in 09/01 check-out 09/02. I hope this helps guys.

EDIT: Oh yeah don't forget guys, I'm turning 21 on the 19th of August so I'll be able to help buy drinks! Mwahahahaha! I'll also being bringing play cards. Regular deck and Uno.

AS far as the awesome job adam did with the tellies.... I figure as it stands now two rooms split four ways each about 19 bucks a head... not bad....

OK now for the sofla people... you have to let me know if you are definately going and if so where we going to meet because according to that map Exsane put up the speedway is right by I95 so thats what I am taking up there.

Well it really depends becuz Ben Gary and Casey are coming from western side and are closer to I-75 and I-4 while I-95 is all the way to the east side of Florida. I guess you guys will have to work something out. But as far as meeting where? We have to figure out what we are doing first so that way we know where to meet and where to go and what to do.

[DeathSniper]

well we can take 75 and meet them there and then take I4 together... thats not a problem I dont have a problem doing that if ther rest of the sofla guys don't

[WH95TE]

I'll go whichever way is needed, I just dont want to lead cause i'll get lost. Also who all is going to stay the night? Im not positive if i'll be able to do that so if any SoFla guys are gonna make it a single day trip let me know.

[DeathSniper]

Looks like I'm not making it an any type of night... I am not going guys... got into an accident and car got messed up and cant drive it... might be able to get it fixed but well see Ill have pics up tomorrow afternoon... sorrys guys

[twolownissan2002]

thats sucks all that matter is that your ok so what happened and how bad is the car jope your doing ok gary

[DeathSniper]

yeah I am fine.... but Im upset I just put in the stereo and ordered some coil overs and then this.... I snapped my axle and maybe the bearings and whio knows what else... got to wait to see what they say....

[Taylor]

I'm in.. I'm 18 - so no "legal" drinking for me. lol. But yeah... this would be my first meet.
I've got a '97 ST... so I would pretty much embarrass myself on the drag strip... but I'd definitely love to come see your cars and get some ideas of way to modify my celi. My car is pretty much all stock... so yeah... the drag strip should definitely be a spectator sport for me haha.

Anyways... I live in Winter Park and don't know my way around at all... is there anyone that would maybe meet up with me and let me follow them maybe? I swear I couldn't find my way out of a paper bag. lol.

Yeah, I am now living in Altamonte Springs which is right above Winter Park. I know the whole central florida area. So I could meet up with you if you want. And if you want Eric, you could look at my celica details. I researched a lot of stuff and finally finalized the best parts for my car for a 7AFE setup. It could give you a idea on what to do with your celica. If I were you, I wouldn't buy any exterior parts just yet such as body kits. You will be more satisfied with performance upgrades. And if you got any questions for the best prices, I got alot of links on the web you can get parts for low prices.
