Are you guys taking 75 across the alley? We are planning a meet at 8AM here at the Daniels Rd. exit (I think exit128) and want to leave at 8:30. Sure would be nice to meet and do this in a line of shine. I have 3 meeting there and possible a total of 6. Keep me posted gentleman. Z, looking forward to seeing you again my friend - it's been awhile.

We do have to make a stop on the way for gas, etc. Double check the exit # for us if you can.

[ghost03]

I"ll be there @ 6:30

It would be nice to fill both lanes of the Alley as we cross it depending on how many of us cross together. To hell with the other drivers :eek::eek: They can wait behind us :D

Okay, it's exit 131 and we can all wait for you. Get fuel here at the Racetrac and we will have maybe a dozen heading from there. Keep me posted from the road, 239-770-3630.

TMAC used that fuel and his motor Denated, he had to rebuild his motor.

It's right at the exit, there's fuel everywhere! I only used Racetrac as a point 'cause there's a long frontage road for everybody to congregate at.

[MMMAN]

What do I need to bring to the picnic? Beer? Snacks? Sticky tires? Everything is being taken care of, except the Beer & the Sticky tires! You might want to bring a folding car just in case. We will meet the west coast crew at the exit 131.

Will these fit into the trunk:lol:

[Hotrauder]

Folding Chairs is a great idea as seating is limited as always and we will have a big crowd. If you don't have them, get them. AND remember to BRING them. Dennis...save the folding cars for Sunday at the track. They LOVE a good show.

[Cobra25]

I Wife made up the Flyers with all the info. I'll bring them this friday to the Tower Shops so some of the new guys who haven't registered on the site yet can have the information in advance.

Justin Take 95 South or The Florida turnPike South, Get off exit marked ( 595 west ) take it to the SawGrass expressway North. Get off the first exit - SunRise Blvd. At the lite make a right turn and the next lite make a left in too Sawgrass Ford. We will be meeting their at 6:30 am and leaving at 6:45 am. If you are planning on going let me know so we can add your name to the list. Also if you are bringing anybody else how many. Heading over with Jimlam would be alot closer than coming all the way down South and then going all the way back up North. It's up too you . Kruzeing over in a group is fun.

[Cobra25]

[MarauderTJA]

Explanation of the $5.00 per person fee
<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Everyone, please understand that the cost for the food for everyone and having it catered at our location is greater than the $5.00/person.

Funds from SSM, mm.net and certain members have contributed to off-set the costs of our having the picnic catered. At our previous picnics certain dedicated members spent considerable time, effort as well as personal funds to make the picnic happen for us all.

This year EVERYONE is going to have a good time. Any left over funds will be put into the pot for our next SSM gathering.:beer:

[MMMAN]

Carefull John...Zolt may decide to increase his race tune this Saturday.

[StevenJ]

Exactly why I'll be taking a different route!!!

You sure it isn't because of the extra 150 miles or so out of the way to make that horse shoe from central, to florida south, to the west coast? I'm sure that couldn't be the reasl reason..... :beer:

[John Nero]

Carefull John...Zolt may decide to increase his race tune this Saturday.
zolton's car is so slow maybe he can borrow scott's mini van

[MMMAN]

Zolt,

is John egging you on because you're not planning on racing Sunday? Sounds like a JN motivational tactic to me.

[Cobra25]

Zolt,

is John egging you on because you're not planning on racing Sunday? Sounds like a JN motivational tactic to me. I was planning on racing that sunday. But I still have a problem with the car. And I don't quite know what it is yet. I'll have scott take it for a ride on saturday, maybe he can trouble shoot it. If I can get it fixed before then , I'll race it, if not, O well !
