Hi, my family and i are flying out to Orlando, Florida in a week and a halfs time. We,re doing all the fun parks but i want to make a detour to Daytona and also i want to check out the Orlando Speedworld dragway. Anybody here been to this dragstrip, i noticed on the website they have streetracers at the dragstrip on wednesdays and fridays.

Paul,

Can you be more specific about when you'd be in Daytona Beach? I'm about 40 miles from there and drive there fairly often.

Tom, where do you live in St. Augustine? The company I work with is relocating in the Spring of '09 and we are just beginning to get familiar with St. Augustine. I would like to get your insight to the community the next time we head up for a weekend. Best regards from Miami, Rick Durkin.

Right. Friday night is 75-up vehicles and Sat night is 74 and earlier.

I live between St.Augustine and Daytona. I'd love to meet up with you if my schedule permits.

Rick,

I live in St Augustine Beach. We think we lucked out when we moved here five years ago, and it's still great!

We don't want anyone else to move here - getting too crowded :LOL::LOL::LOL:

I'll PM you my contact info. If we're in town we'd be happy to consult.

Tom

Well, we have been back a week and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Florida. Would like to have stayed another three weeks.
We made it to "Old Town" and loved the Hot rods and customs. There were two Cobras, very nice too, i think one was a FFR.
Here are some pictures of these cars.

Here are a couple of other nice cars we saw.

Paul,
It's to bad you didin't make it to OLd Town during the snowbird season as this is when you will see a lot more cars attending this show. Now there is the heat and every day chance of rain fall.
