I wanted to update the September event we have in the works for the Club. As well as the Crown Vic club. It will be a September Marauder Fest. Since we have invited the Mach 1 club, and Justin Starkey of Velocity Mustangs is asking his Mustang friends to come as well, I guess we could call it MMM Feast.
Right now there is confirmation of a Frank Hawley driving class on the September 16 - Bring Your Own Car. http://www.frankhawley.com/byoc.php

So here is what we have planned. Right here in Orange Park there are five different chain hotels handy to the interstate. I am calling Monday to price a group rate.
We are having open house and Dyno day on Friday, September 16. Lunch will be at Noon. We will have raffles as well as a live band. Dyno Pulls will be 50.00. David Posea from SCT will be here as well as Justin Starkey, who came to MVII for the Dyno session I had set up there.
On Saturday, September 17, we have rented Gainesville Raceway from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm. The track then opens to the public till 11:00 pm. I have hired County Caterers to serve "the real thing!" - southern cooking at its finest! Smoked pulled pork, and all the condiments. We will have an SCT booth set up there. I really think this will be great time.
On Sunday we can all meet at the Cracker Barrel for breakfast and be on our way. There are any number of things to do for those that come before the 16th, Saint Augustine is 40 minutes from Orange park, Orlando is two hours away. Jacksonville has a very nice Zoo.
We anticipate an average cost in the 65.00 dollar range per car for the track (including lunch for the driver; lunch for non-drivers will be about $10, including beverage.) Again, we will finalize this within the next few weeks. I would like to go ahead and start an attendance survey so we can get this show on the road. Bunny is helping we with this so I thank her a lot. I am really looking forward to another great gathering of friends.
