I dont care what your driving. honda, dsm, mazda, nissan, or your grandmas hover-round. doesnt matter. lmk if you are going and are interested in riding out. we can work out the details later but kinda hurry because we only have like 2 weeks to organize this. later!

hmmm well seeing as my car is an auto with no tranny mods yet it might not be much of a run. if i can get a bottle, lets say a 50 shot, it might be a better race but other than that youd take me hands down.

[SaturnTypeR]

I will already be in O-town. Working the event and hopefully doin Photography with Deepvision.

[brucbigalo69]

ok heres the skinny on HIN Orlando

its on satuday july 8th at the orange county convention center. it starts at 5pm and runs till about 12am. it takes about 1 to 1 1/2 hours to get out there depending on traffic and how many times people end up racing up ahead. lol. anyways i was thinkin i would ask you guys where would be some good spots to meet up at because i would hate for people to have to back track or drive out of the way. i was thinkin for the people in pinellas county, we could meet up at the super target on 60 (gulf to bay and US19) and roll out from there. as for anyone in say tampa or further out. we can meet up some where on the other side of 60. say somewhere along 275 or I-4. im bringing my digicam and my boy chad is bringing his too so expect there to be some nice pics and vids of this lil get together. would like to possibly get a couple good group pics over here before we leave and maybe a few over in o-town. im currently looking for somewhere over there that everyone can meet up and have lunch and some drinks or something. any ideas? well let me know guys. oh and tickets for HIN are 27.50 online. not to sure how much at the door and parking is usually pretty cheap. im debating on getting a hotel room. but more than likely i will because i want to check out the local scene over there.

[burgy240]

I'm in and I'll be riding with a group of people too. Let me know where everyone wants to meet

[D-Roll]

What time will the crew be leaving? I'm off of I-4 and I-75.

[EclipseGuy]

well it dont start till 5pm and it takes about 2 hours with traffic. id like to get there a lil early for food and parking. sooo i would say we should meet up at 12pm then head out at 1pm. so that gives everyone about an hour to show up at the super target in clearwater. so if everyone is ok with this let me know. if there is any problems with this, lmk and we will see what we can do.

[EclipseGuy]

plus i need everyone who is goings number so i can contact everyone that is planning on riding out with us, so we arnt waiting for people that no-show. like i said we will be taping and taking alot of pictures. so make sure you have a full tank and a clean ride. lol. like mines ever clean......

[Dori240]

dude getting to HIN early is lame! you see everything in the 1st hour and then there isnt shit to do.. show up later its better all the good stuffs happens around 9/10 oclock.. plus I wontbeable to get off work till 3 on saturday :P

[ph0tek]

we're heading up in the AM to see the sponsor fags we're friends with and then chillin at the hotel and then hittin the nightlife running buck wild...

[EclipseGuy]

ok ok soo the plan as i stated before was to just get to orlando earlier and get our hotel rooms. maybe i should have been a little more clear on the plan. we just want to get out there and hit up o-town for a bit. then HIN, then some heavy drinkin and partyin. im getting 2 rooms because i have quite a few people coming up with me and i want to get everyone settled in. maybe hit the pool or something. if people cant make the drive portion, maybe we can set up something for later on in o-town. i dont kow of any local meets or anything out that way. maybe someone can let us know what goes down out there and we can set something up.

[Derka]

i might be out that way. look for the ek

[zeb0r]

Nice to see everything coming along, look forward to seeing everyone out there.

The meeting place is Super target on the Pinellas side of the bay. Closest cross street is US19N and Gulf to Bay Blvd. Meet at 12pm, leave at 1pm.

[carcustomizer]

Tampa people, my club is meeting at the parking lot in front of Saks Fifth Avenue at Westshore Mall at around 11am to assemble and then we're heading over to Clearwater @ 11:30am to meet up with Josh (EclipseGuy) and the rest of the peeps. If u want meet up with us PM me.

[FLNeonRT]

At this point, Josh (EclipseGuy) is unsure if he's even going or not so everyone needs to look for this car:

My car will not be lead car so don't look for it. I guess I'm gonna be organizing everything from here now. Meet will be in the back of the parkig lot. If you get there before us, sit tight, we will be there so don't panic. Look for the car and park straight out from the Super Target store so we can try and keep people localized in the lot. Use only one space per car, no double parking. We don't need security or police hassling us. My phone number is 727-492-9528. If anyone runs into a snag, call, and I'll do my best to tell you where we are at so you can meet or catch up to us if fallen behind.

The route we will take is very easy. Leave Super Target, get on Courtney Campbell Causeway, cross the bay, use Veterans to get on I-275 and then when you get to Malfunction Junction, take the ramp for Orlanda (duh!). Simple directions. You can take I-4 from Tampa to Orlanda for those that don't know about that little road between the cities. I'm unsure right now as to haow bad the construction is so there may be some rough spots. We want everyone making it so drive conservative and no tickets. There will be some shooting video and taking pictures in the group. Be courteous to others in the group that want to do the same and allow other traffic to pass when needed to.

As for rooms and activities, myself and the group I'll be with are staying not to far from the convention center and don't really plan to hit up the night life afterwards. We're going to the show and going back to our room and either going swimming or drinking and playin' a card game. Whatever you decide, International Dr. has tons of places to eat and things to do so you won't be bored if you have never been there. Traffic can be a bit of a nightmare as I remember the last time I entered my car in the show. Everyone be safe and as I said, if you run into a snag, call, but remember, if you stay on I-4 into Orlando, you will pass by the Orange County Convention center. Its huge and it will be on your right side. Thats where you want to be so if needed, stop and ask for directions.
