Saturday August 13th is the day. It will be exactly 3 months from our previous meet and not conflict with school schedules.

The meet will be at Okeeheelee park in West Palm.

7715 Forest Hill Blvd.
West Palm Beach, FL 33413

It's a really big park and has plenty of parking. I'm going to check it out this weekend to see which pavillion will be best for us.

It costs $106.50 to reserve the pavillion plus a $100 deposit.

I'm not quite as generous as mimmp so I'll be entertaining paypal contributions to sweetrecords@hotmail.com. Should we clear the $106.50 we may have some pretty cool door prizes. Hopefully some minor performance accessories. I like this door prize raffle thing.

Track Meet is official - Gates open at 6PM. So if we all get there between 5:30 & 6PM we should be able to get pretty close to each other in the staging lanes. I know a lot of people are arranging their trip around getting there for the track meet Friday.

Here's the address of the track. Cost to race is $15. I think cost to watch is also $15 (might be $10)

MOROSO MOTORSPORTS PARK
17047 Beeline Hwy.
Jupiter, FL 33478

UPDATE - May 23
I reserved the Osceola pavillion at Okeehelee for Saturday August 13. It's a nice pavilion on a hill with a lake view and a curvy little road up to the pavilion great for taking pictures. It even has it's own private bathroom and playground for the kids.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE - June 12
The permit for the pavillion came in the mail today. The place is really cool. Looks to be a great meet.

UPDATE - July 23

The track is friday night at Moroso. Plan to arrive between 5:30 and 6PM. After the track we are going to go to Brian's Irish Pub on Lake Worth road since most everyone is staying the Holiday Inn by the turnpike.

Saturday I will be at Okeeheelee before 10AM. I'll be making a post tomorrow with the full schedule for the weekend. Everyone is welceome to show up as early as they's like. I figure most will be arriving around 11AM-noon. I bunch of people are coming down from Orlando and up from Miami.

Just show up. Feel free to call me if you head to the track so we can all meet up.

Can't wait to see you out there.

Track night is tomorrow. Anybody doing the track Friday and the meet saturday. We have 10 or so cars ligned up for the track tomorrow.

Thanks to all who came out. The turnout was far better than expected. The pics are awesome. I got a preview of SlimmGTs pics last night. I've never seen that many Probes/MX6s ligned up. If anyone needs a place to host the pics just send them to me and I'll host them on my site.

JollyJewBagel earned his award for least likely to make it home as he rode home in the tow truck :roll: Hopefully it's a quick fix and he'll be up and running soon for MYRTLE MADNESS!!!

The protege and RX8 guys who came out were all great people. Can't wait to run into them at some more meets around town. I'll be at Towers for the Protege/Mazda club's official meet the last Friday of this month.

I did a quick count of who/what showed up.
RX8s - 1 (but it was a really nice one)
Proteges - 5
MX3s - 6
MX6s - 4
Probes - 17
Corollas :poopa: - 1 (George will have his probe running one day)

Total Mazda/Probes in attendance - 33
Number of cars towed away - 1
Number of cars stranded on the way there that still made it - 2
Numbers of cars that blew up before they even got there - 1 (Maciej's car which I'll be looking at today)

This was a great "Pre Myrtle Flyrtle." Let's see if Florida can represent just as strong at Myrtle Madness 8.

A Tampa/Bradenton meet is in the works for Jan/Feb. We'll probably have it consist of a Desoto speedway trip and a Busch Gardens visit. More to come on that in the coming months.
