There are back roads to get you just about anywhere if you look hard enough. The one time I went to Ozello, I was following someone who mapped the route with GPS... there were some interesting roads. (not great roads, just interesting ones... I'm always happy to be off the big highways) He even took us through about 3 miles of dirt road because it was the only connector between two sections. If you're looking for a back-roads route up that way, start with Race Track road, Gunn Hwy and all that, take a trip on the Ehren Cutoff (that's a fun road) north of Land o Lakes, and find some other back roads up that way to get you north, then find your way back west. You can avoid almost all travel on US 19, but plan on about 3 hours to get there.
Play with MapQuest or something and map yourself a day trip. Have fun!
I'm not up for setting up a TR meet, but y'all feel free to set up something casual. But don't get too crazy out there on the streets. Autocross and real race tracks are the place to go wild at.

I might go if it fits my schedule and you guys promise not to be idiots on the street. 
Either way, I'd be happy to review any route or partial route you come up with and offer suggestions.

i'm down, and honestly, i respect these guys, so i won't risk losing their respect over doing something stupid, and the Twanksta is a cool dude from the times i dealt with him, so i don't know, it'd be a blast though, and i think it'd be sweet to see that scuby tear up some dirt roads, and i don't give a shit about my bodywork, so if i'm too low whatever
