Hey guys. I'll be in Clearwater until the 19th. I was just seeing if anyone would want to set up a meet? Just an idea to throw out there...we could meet at Quaker Steak or any other restaurant for dinner and then cruise the beach at night? The weather will be perfect this week, other than a 30% chance of rain on Tuesday.

Also if anyone is interested, I want to take some more night time pictures while I'm here.

And don't forget this Thursday, Bradenton Motorsports Park from 6pm-11pm.

 

im game
i wont be back in tampa until wednesday night
ryan want to pik me up from the airport???????
also we should meet up at like 5 on thurs to head down to the track

 

What day for dinner and time?

 

I shouldn't be busy on Wednesday night. So if you are serious about picking you up, give me a call.

Regarding a meet, how about next Friday or Saturday night?

I'll be over there Saturday the 18th at Lokey getting lowered.

Sounds good to me...

Hey Ryan, don't forget this friday is St. Patrick's day!!! If anyone is interested in heading out for some green beer but anyways I'm down for something (meeting and dinner) on Saturday night.

 

I'm still 20 for another 3 months, 3 weeks, and 1 day.

 

Since Sean will be in Clearwater Saturday and since it seems like a good day for everyone else, Saturday is the day.

Sean, what time will you be at Lokey. Do you guys want to plan for lunch or dinner? Hey..I have a great idea. We can meet for lunch and then go race some go-karts?

The go-karts at Celebration Station suck, but it's $22.99 for an all-day pass. It is about 10 minutes from Lokey.

Grand-Prix Tampa is located near USF. Their webstie doesn't list prices or anything like that.

www.tampabaygp.com
Tampa Bay Grand Prix is located in St. Pete. It's $20 per adult for 14 laps or $26 per adult for a mini Grad Prix which includes qualifying and a race. (I want to go here)

Can anyone else think of ideas?

 

But who the hell is counting right?

 

We need to have a huge meet for your 21st B-day. Give us some ideas of what you want to do.

 

I'll be dropping my car off at Lokey on Friday afternoon at 3:00 and I'll pick it up on Saturday morning. I'll have a loaner from Lokey. I'm meeting with some friends on Friday night. I should have Saturday free but I don't want to head back to Orlando too late in the day.

 

Ok, so lets try to get this official. Everything is located on US19, so no one will get separated.

12:00pm - We will meet at Lokey Infiniti
12:30pm - Arrive at Quaker Steak and Lube (According to Mapquest, a 10 minute drive from Lokey). An hour for lunch should be suffice.
