I am down with Lakeland. Didn't someone say something about a restaraunt that had outdoor dining like the last meet.
I think the weather is why everyone is coming out.....the last meet had over 25 people and 11 RX-8s, 3 Miatas, 1 Mazda 3, 1 Mazda 6, 1 WRX, and 1 Mazdaspeed Protoge. I haven't seen that many 8s in one place other than at a dealer.

Car will be fixed by then, so I'm in.
If we're going on a saturday, we don't have to go out so late. How about st. augustine area? kinda far for the tampa guys, but there's probably some of the Jax crew that would be in.
Other choices are: tampa again, orlando metro area, cocoa again, lakeland, west coast beaches...the list goes on!

yes, 12/3 is great for me. Let's plan this right so that some of the other Rotors can come.
Now we need a location. KYLiquid is right, we've been to Race Rock a couple times in the last 4 mo's. I second Lakeland. We could have the others in Daytona or Orl next year.

There is that big Mazda meet on Nov 19th in Orlando, so let's nix the Orlando area for Dec if that is okay.
The weather is nice for a group drive.....Daytona would be fun too. Is there a group in Daytona? I have heard a Jacksonville driver looking for a group on the forum......

Daytona Sounds Nice...not To Far From Orlando... But Might Be A Journey For Tampa 8's.... Also There's A Shytload Of Cars Out On Sat Nite Around The Downtown Orlando Area... Definetly On Colonial... And It Would Be Nice If I Wasnt The Only 8 Around A Shytload Of Evo's N Honda's
And Whas The Big Mazda Meet 11/19 ...???

I don't know how Daytona's beaches are, but in New Smyrna (15min away) you can drive on the beach. What a great opportunity for a group photo...... we are down for drive to Daytona. We will probably spend the night there or spend the night in Orlando though...are there a bunch of 8s in that area?

Oh and we have an open futon here in Orlando if you need it, Mantis - we'll even clean up all the errant beer bottles just for you!

anyway, I think you can only drive on the beach from dawn till dusk, its closed durring night time, but is you wanted to go to the beach, there is a shopping center with a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. they have a large outdoor area for seating, and I have seen them close the patio just for groups in the past. There is also a parking garage right next door to the resturant, maby they could close the roof parking just for us...
Just an idea, if there is interest in going to daytona, that could be an option. Lemme know and I can call the resturant and get more info.

Thanks for the futon offer, but my parents live over there so I can make it anytime if you need some 8 support.
If there is a reg thing in Orlando that you are going to let me know the day you are going and I'll come.
We will be over at that day meet on the 19th and staying over night, so let me know if you guys are going late Sat night. That's pretty close to that Church street area right? We can grab dinner over there and then go to yer spot to represent the gang. Er, group?
Did you eat a long dog at Barley Hoppers Raymull? I think you need to drink a lot of brew first to avoid having to say you ate something like that. Unless it's one of those crazy coney dogs at Sonics. I will eat Tums after one of those dogs anytime!

So, have we decided where this meet with be? We have a date Dec. 3rd, and I think maybe Daytona?
BTW: I'm not big on the beach driving thing, but I'll prolly go to support the group.

There were some people that mentioned Lakeland and some for Daytona. Daytona sounds fine, but that restaraunt in Lakeland sounds nice for a meet.
