With the Miami meet done and over with, its time to start thinking about the Memorial Meet.

Over the past few years, we've been doing the Memorial Meet in the Tampa/Orlando/Daytona area. Ive emailed my contact from the Central FL GN club to find out their plans as we have done shows with them in the past at Race Rock in Orlando. I am awaiting his response.


Id like to see what you guys think on where we should go.

POSTING THIS HERE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH THIS POST FOR THE INFO: KG

Annual F.A.S.T. Memorial Meet
May 25-27


This years meet will be held in Daytona, across from Destination Daytona, Bruce Rossmeyers Harley Davidson.

The Destination Daytona plaza has lots to offer for shops, eye candy (lots of bikes and badass cars driving around), and food. Along with the Harley shop, there is also Total Performance (hot rods), Arlen Ness, and plenty of novelty shops. The place is huge and would be able to accomodate all of us if we choose to park the trucks and show off. More than likely, there will be nightly activities going on.

For those looking to do some tuning - US-1 is right in front of the hotel and has a very very long stretch of straight road as you turn out of the hotel. You will have plenty of space to spool up and get some runs in and do U-turns to come back.

There will be a Saturday caravan cruise over to the beach to a Bicentennial park with a reserved pavillion for a BBQ cookout and group pictures. At the park, there is a baseball diamond, tennis courts, fishing pier (halifax river), and of course the beach is across the street. Bring your swim trunks, chairs, tents, and games. There is a restroom at the park!


Schedule:

Friday:
Meet at the Hotel, hang out, eat, talk trucks, test n tune, go over to destination, etc

Saturday:

Breakfast
Leave from hotel to caravan over to the park at 10:00am.

Jim, we usually do on the Memorial Weekend, so Friday, Sat, Sun. Monday we typically dont do, since some still do have to work.

Daytona wasnt a bad spot when we went. Course, there is alot of traffic and whatnot. But thats not to bad I guess. I'll probably be sporting the Z. Cause the truck will be with Hood most likely.

George from the Central FL GN club wrote me back. They have moved their "memorial" racerock event to the month of august due to cooler weather.

Im pretty much down for almost anywhere. Definately want to see the GAST hillbillies again, so whatever helps them out to get them down here.

I think it may have to do with their scheduling and everyone getting time off as well.

Re: FAST / GAST members - Memorial Meet Planning

I definitely in, Pope is coming (if I have to kidnap him), and possibly Mike Medina (newer member from North GA). I'll put a threat out to the GAST members and see if I can kick up a caravan.

I'd still love to do Daytona again, but I'm committed to anywhere.

I'll bring my tuning equipment if need be....and what the hell, I may even bring the truck. :rotf:

Hood
