We did it last year about this time and it turned out to be a great get together for the Mazda community so we're doing it again.

August 25-26th in West Palm Beach, FL.

Friday, August 25th is a little track get together at Moroso for the Friday Night Test and Tune. Track meets are always fun. It's nice to see a bunch of the same cars get to show up and race together.

Saturday, August 26th is an all day BBQ at Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach. If you've never been to this park it's an amazing place. It's one of the largest parks around and was very welcoming to our meet last year. I've reserved a pavilion with over 40 private parking spaces and at least 100 more spaces adjacent to it so parking is plentiful.

Burgers, Hot Dogs, & Sodas etc will be provided. Alcohol is responsibly permitted. There is also an playground for those that would like to bring their children.

This year I have reserved the Tuskeegee pavilion. It's on top of a hill over looking one of the many lakes in Okeeheelee. Great for photo ops for all the cars and a nice breeze to keep things cool all day.

The BBQ will be starting around 10AM and lasting till around 5PM.

Everyone is welcome and there will be a few prize giveaways from Mazda Vendors who have chosen to sponsor the event.

Many thanks to Corksport, Outlaw Engineering, Powersquirt.com, PRDonline.com, & MBXmotorsports.net for helping put this event on.

For all those that attended last year thanks for coming out and hope to see you this year. Many thanks to the IPMCSFL crew for coming out last year.

If you didn't make it last year check out some pics and I look forward to meeting you this year.

After researching a few routes, I decided based on the price of gas, to avoid using the Turnpike (thus avoiding the added expenses of tolls). Taking I-95 down the whole way should only add minutes to the total trip and will make it easier by eliminating excessive exits and switch-offs. The primary route will use the least amount of roads possible, so that if someone gets lost or left behind somehow, they can easily find their way. I am thinking of adding a secondary route as an alternate way to get there, in case we find there is a serious jam on I-95. Also, should there be people coming from other areas such as Deltona, Daytona, Tampa, Jax, etc... other meeting areas can be set up along the way to rendezvous with this people. Please make it known if you are coming from an area other than Orlando, so arrangements can be made ahead of time.


Primary Route - The first meeting area with be at the Publix on East Colonial Drive on the corner of Chuluota Rd in Bithlo. Anyone who has been to the track knows where this is. There is a big parking lot there, along with food/beverage/restroom facilities in the store, and a gas station right next to it. We will be meeting up there around 8am, and leaving there by 8:30am. From there...

1: Start out going EAST on E COLONIAL DR / 3.2 miles

2: Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto FL-520 E. / 23.0 miles

3: Merge onto I-95 S toward MIAMI. / ~137.0 miles

4: Take exit- EXIT 66- FOREST HILL BLVD / FL-882 W

5: Bear RIGHT on FOREST HILL BLVD / FL-882 W / ~6.0 miles

6: End at 7715 Forest Hill Blvd
West Palm Beach, FL 33413-3337, US


Not counting the time it takes to get to the first meeting spot, total drive time should be about 2.5-3 hours.
Approx 170 miles each way.
ETA: 11am-Noon

FLYRTLE UPDATE!!!
MIDNIGHT MADNESS AT MOROSO

Moroso got rained out on Friday, but they are having a midnight madness on Saturday as a make up. That means we can talk crap to each other all day at the bbq and head straight to the track to prove it Saturday night.

This should be fun. Track awards will be handed out after the track Saturday night.
