Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.
Dec 3rd Corvette Drag Race In Orlando
- Thread starter litevette
- Start date
Cool! I hope you can make it. :welcome: Last time was just a starter, but about 30 Vette's showed and maybe 10 ran. We are looking to build this thing to where we have a lot more Vette owners that want to actually run. As far as it being Corvettes only, until we show SpeedWorld that we can bring in good #'s consistantly, then we are going to have to run during regular track hours. What we are planning to do is pretty much what we did last time. That's to have all of the Vette's park in the same area (near the bathrooms) where we hangout, shoot the breeze, have a BBQ and let the wifes/GF's hang out. We then try to all stage up together so that we can run Vette on Vette. Eventually we will get SpeedWorlds O.K. on our own staging lane. That way they can run the bikes, the slow cars, the fast cars and then the Vette's. Like I said, I hope you can come out because the more that show, the sooner we'll be able to do what we want. Don't keep it a secret. Let any other Vette owners you know that this is going down. Even if they've never raced, they might want to at least give it a try. Once they do it, they're hooked!

..... am looking-forward to this event, as a tow to/from Lakeland on a Sunday morning will be easier than it was during Friday's rush-hour for the event in early-October.
:ack2:
I'm not sure there are any Corvette Shows/functions that day in the Orlando-area, so 'hopefully' we'll get a large turnout of Corvette-owners who enjoy racing their cars:
with-luck, we can do this a few times a year, and possibly make it a monthly affair with a large-enough car-count.

From 6 October:

USA-1, glad you plan on attending again. It sure was fun, wasn't it? :dancer01:
I also don't know if there are any other Vette shows or functions that day, but I'm thinking we'll have a good turn out. I bet some of those first timers from last time will not only return (hooked), but they're probably so excited that they'll drag (no pun intended) some other Vette buddies with them. Orlando is a great location. A semi-big city with tons of Vette owners. I'm sure that once this catches on (which shouldn't take long)we'll have one heck of a Vette gathering. I think a lot of Vette owners are getting tired of just sitting around showing off their ride. Shoot, I don't even plan on washing mine before I come. Who can tell a cars dirty as it blasts through the traps at a stagering 80 mph?:lmao:

I agree with what you said USA-1 and thanks for sharing those wheel standing Vettes. "Zora didn't build us these cars to sit-around listening to doo-wop, comparing wax/polishing notes" Driving my mid 14 second 79 down the 1320 is way more exhilarating than parked at a show. This time around there are many who don't want to miss the action again. I will be pleased to meet every new face that shows. Race or not, be there to discover another venue and meet local Corvette enthusiasts.[/COLOR.

Looks Good For GO!!
I SHOULD have the "Love Is Blue" blown BB '66 Roadster put back together by then (the motor is actually being put together this week into next). If nothing else pops up between now and then, I'll be there with slicks ready for some HARD runs. :thumbsup:
The idea of our own lane for staging is a great idea, by the way. Hope it can be put together at the least. Glenn

Uh oh. You might not want to let some of these guys around here know that. They are scared enough as it isknowing that you will be bringing out that earth shaking, ear splitting 15 second "Black Beast". :hehehe:
But seriously, that should let the ladies out there with Vette's know what's possible. You don't have to have the fastest car, they can just be consistant and win.:yesnod:

The only "Black Beast" at Bradenton yesterday was Liz' 11-second C5 which won the Final Round, as I was First Round Runner-Uplitevette said:
