Everyone...I am thinking of two car meets...

1) Grand Prix of Miami
- When: March 24th
- Cost: Varies - I payed $70 (Premium pkg) which includes parking inside, food, maybe a parade lap, and Playboy Bunnies!!!!
- Where: Homestead Speedway

2) Next Autocross

Autocross Information


What do you all think?? I will post links so we can start a list and plan a meeting spot.

Have you heard of Tangos which is located on 120th Street where the new Publix is located. They are located in the back parking lot with a lot of space. The owner of Tangos said that there was a meeting held there some months ago by a group of RX-8 owners. I am open to whatever gets a group of RX-8 owners together. Lets decide and see how many can attend. I just got my RX-8 back from Ocean Mazda. They installed a re-built motor that was not doing very well until I took it back last week. Seems to be running much better now the motor mounts have been re-torqued to proper specs. I now have my confidence back in my vehicle as it is running as original.

Not to be a ***** or anything but no one except South Miami people will be able to meet in Kendal...Sorry.

It makes no sense for anyone in Broward to drive that far...Especially me since I drive to work 1 hour to Boca. So I would basically be driving like 1.5 to 2 hours (one way) that day.

I'm in the homestead area so... I'm sure *** hell not heading really far north unless something really cool is going down.
Traffic in miam has changed ALOT in the past few years, bumper to bumper traffic @night = no fun.

there is no traffic at 8:30 and if you take the turnpike you should reach us in less than 15 minutes, where we usually hangout is right off the turnpike exit to 120th street. and the Pizza hut is about 5 to 10 minutes from there.

It may have been Broward but it still was 20 south of my location. The least you could do is to make it North Miami as a compromise but like you said you want Miami people.

It should be about the community not whos local but whatever...have fun.

lol, I wouldn't mind driving a little. I don't think there's much 8 drivers in the Miami area willing to meet. Least we can do is a community meet. Plus, Ft. Lauderdale is only about 30mins away..

You are correct, I live in Kendal and the traffic has gotten worse. Lets try to get the guys and girls that live in our area to meet. I see quite a few RX08's running around in our area and it would be great to see what we can do to promote more events in the South Miami. Has anyone had experience in an autocross in South Miami and where was it held. Love to see a RX-7 owners take an interest.

I did hear about this and depending on my physical condition after the Homestead race, I may take a run up to Hialeah Park.
Thank you.

There are threads for the Homestead race and the autocross with all the info you need.

PapaBear - are you riding up with anyone? I am trying to get a car coral together but it does not appear that many are going to the race.
