Default October 6th Orlando Corvette Fun Meet

There will be a fun get together of Corvette enthusiast at Orlando SpeedWorld in East Orlando on Friday October the 6th from 6-10 p.m. You can just hang out and shoot the breeze, eat some free food (we will have a BBQ) and drinks and show off your Vette. Since we will be at the track, if you qualify you can race your Vette (or just armachair race). There will discussions on planning for future Vette races & cruise nights. We will also be discussing how to improve your Corvettes performance as well as how to get started drag racing. If you plan on racing, make to sure to either wear or bring pants and a long sleeved shirt. If you have one, bring a helmet. If not, some others will have helmet's that can be shared.
Orlando Speedworld
19442 East Colonial Drive
Orlando, FL 32820
(407)568-2717 Office during normal business hours
(407) 568-5522 Track when gates are open

SpeedWorld charges $10 to get in and it's only $5 more if you plan to race! If you have any questions about this get together, you can call (407) 758-0664 in Orlando or (321) 253-1474 in Melbourne. In the event that there is a rain out, everyone will meet up at the Whataburger to the West of the track on highway 50/Colonial Drive (at the corner of 419 and 50).

I might arrive pretty late. I get off work at 4 PM, drive 1 hour to get home and then it'll take 2.5 hours to the track.. so I'll probably be there by 7:30 - 8 PM..

I will make every-effort to attend this event, but given my luck with motor-vehicles lately (see "quick update from Revxtreme Corvette Challenge" in this section of the Forum..... ), I don't know if I'll bring my '82 Corvette, my '91 K1500, my daily-driver '93 Dodge Dynasty, a rent-a-car, or a horse-and-buggy.....

I'll be there but I'll bring the C6 instead of the C3.. I just don't like the thought of driving through Friday afternoon traffic with truck and trailer

Hey, that's all right. I don't blame you. At least you can make it, even if you are bringing the lesser of your cars!

I wish I had seen this post earlier.Looks like I miss another chance to get together with the vett guy's.
I left Speed World behind on the 3rd to go to LA.
Maybe next year.
