Default Anything happening in Florida ?

Guys, I bought a few properties, one in Titusville and another in Melbourne. Checked out Cocoa Beach yesterday. Must be nice to be racing in mid to high 70's now. What's a do not miss venue while here? Already hit Don Garlitis museum.

Just missed the Turkey Rod Run at Daytona last week.



Lots of towns have some cruises/shows on weekends.

Race tracks at Orlando, Palm Beach and Bradenton.
(among others)

Check any places on the gulf side?
Or just wanted on the ocean side?

I know PBIR has a funny car/top fuel event coming up in January. I'm planning on going.

If you're here on the west coast, this is a must-see racing event at my favorite track.

Hey. I live in Melbourne Florida and have been racing and restoring Pontiacs for over 30 years. There is a decent cruise at the 5 Guys in Palm Bay the third Thursday of every month. I know all the Pontiac guys in this area and have been a member of POCI and GTOAA for many years.

Speedworld (Drag Strip) may be on it's last legs as the current lease holder has the "business" up for sale. Obviously the beach and Indian River are some of the key features of the area. Fishing, boating, and water sports are very popular. Orlando is less than an hour away with lot's to do both car hobby and entertainment.
