The Official FLORIDA Thread
We have one of these for Arizona where we talk about local events, local shops and what-not... I'm moving to Florida next month so thought I'd start an official Florida thread!
Jump in and contribute however you like - I have no plans to moderate or limit content... Selfishly, however, I'd like to hear from people about autocross and road course racing and time trial events... Which tracks do you run at, with which clubs, what shops do you use, etc. Cheers! |
Hi Travis,
First of all, where in Florida are you moving to? If you're moving to Central Florida there are road courses at the Central Florida Racing Complex Also, a lot of folks around here go to Orlando Speed World to race down the 1/4 mile. As far as clubs, i'm in XECOFL We have meets quite often; recently a group of us drove up to Daytona for the Rolex 24, was awesome. 4Motion mentioned Juno, they have a local club also. But we've all been out to the same meets before. If you're looking for shops let me know and i can probably refer you to some. |

We're located in central Florida :) if you guys need anything let me know. Plus we'd be interested in throwing a Nissan/Infiniti meet (370z, 350z, GT-R, G35, G37, etc) in the near future let me know what you guys think.

Welcome to FL!
CFRC isn't really doing the road course thing anymore. It's mostly drag racing and drifting. The only two tracks I've done in FL are Sebring & Daytona. Lots of organizations run Sebring, so just keep an eye out for the info. Daytona, not so much, so if you get the opportunity, jump on it. For autocross, check out the SCCA site. I know there's a group over in your area, but I'm not sure about the details. Since you're moving to the west coast, you should check out the Z Club of Florida. They are a very active group based in Tampa. Also, not sure when you'll be getting here, but if it's before May you should definitely make plans to attend ZDayz up in NC. ZCon and Z Nationals will also be coming up in a few months. |

Sounds fun! Keep us posted! |
Since you will be in and around the tampa area you can visit www.zclubofflorida.net. Originally it was a 350z club but has expanded and seems to be getting large. I just joined last month but have met a great group of individuals and they get together all the time. They usually have the hookup of what is going on around the area.

|
no but seriously, does anyone have a preference to a time of year they want a meet?
|
April-May would be my vote
|
Yeah, if it's cold, I won't go, and to me "cold" is below 70. LOL

Hey guys, im kinda new here and thinking of buying one pref used in the next few months. Im in Florida as well but up in no mans land aka Pensacola. Ive only ever seen 2 or 3 floating around here and they are all old men and one older woman. Im guessing the meet scene is all down in south florida? I really wanted to see a few but being as there are basically none here Im kinda stuck. Fortunately the gf and I are planning to be married July '12 after she finishes her Residency at the hospital and were looking at the Southern FL region. Anyhow, any tips would be appreciated as where the cars are at and perhaps in a few months, i will be able to just drive to S FL for those meets. Thanks guys

I am ~1:45 from the Jacksonville airport so if you all do anything in North Florida I might attend.
Was in JAX at the beach last weekend and spotted a White 370: http://subroc.net/NISMO/JaxZ.JPG |
If your ever in Naples you could have a meet with Myself & Seeya86. Plus the SFZCC BBQ should be sometime around may

Travis you will be near me once you get settled in, hope to see your car in person I have followed your build thread. As a couple of other people mentioned look into the Zclub of Florida we are a very active club with alot of track junkies.
