  Ace Cafe Update: historical picture
  Yes, I know it has been some time since the ground shaking opening event however the Ace is well underway. The team was been working diligently on all the necessary details that will make this a great rock n' roll, motor-inspired, neighborhood restaurant and bar.
  
  I spent the day going over the event calendar details. Every night of the week there will be a motor-themed event and every weekend will be filled with car shows, bike events, music and food festivals plus so much more.
  
  Now is the time for car, bike and truck clubs to consider Ace Cafe for their monthly meetings as the calendar is being developed. Ace can offer dedicated show parking, specialty group menus and a large private dining area. Since weekends will be in high demand, don't miss the opportunity to host a weekend event at the Ace. Car, truck and bike shows plus motorcycle rally stops are all welcome at the Ace.

From Senor Honda:
Formed years ago, Tampa Racing.com was founded on the principles of encouraging restoration, repair or modification of special interest vehicles. Over 102,000 members strong, Tampa Racing has no national affiliation, but you will likely find its members among any number of automotive organizations including the National Street Rod Association, Mustang Club of America, Goodguys, Florida Mopar Association, Corvette Club of America, to name a few. The type of vehicles found amongst the members varies from restored early 1900's vintage automobiles, to street rods from the 30’s and 40’s, to muscle cars from the 60’s and 70’s, to present day front-wheel-drive imports and motorcycles. With the wide range of vehicles come varying degrees of modifications from bone stock to big block Pro Street monsters. There truly is something to satisfy every automotive taste.

As with the vehicles there are varying activities that the members undertake ranging from weekly cruise nights and car meets, to cruises through the countryside, cookout get-togethers, Christmas parties, open track days, organized races, beach concerts and frequent car shows. The shows are perhaps the most popular venue for many of the members who engage in showing their cars at almost every opportunity. Tampa Racing also co-sponsors and/or supports select charity car shows, community events. This is a way of giving back to the local communities.

When you join Tampa Racing you will always be a member of the family whether at a cruise night, car meet or on the highway. And remember life is good friends, a clean ride, and the open road in front of you.

Hi Cruiser’s, attached is the listing for all the FREE CRUISES for July and August. As you can see many of them have been put on hold until September. Too hot and too many rains outs. Some of us old farts need a little break also.
Also attached is the July calendar. This is in PDF format.
I'm working with the SHAKE STATION to have an OPEN show in July and August. No DJ, No registration, No 50/50, No door prizes, just come and hang out and enjoy your selves.Tell the waitress that you're a CRUISER and brought your ride to get your 10% food discount!
If you want to CRUISE on over any time after 11 AM on July 9[SUP]th[/SUP] or August 13[SUP]th[/SUP] to enjoy the company of other Cruisers, get a good lunch, or ICE CREAM come on out.
Just a good day to hang out. Maybe you can even talk them into turning up their outside speakers on their patio for some oldies Music. Come and go as you wish. No pressure, just fun.
My family and I will see you in September. Refreshed and ready to go for another season.
Bill

Thanks to the photography skills of Sean Little for risking his life to climb up the I-4 embankment to achieve this awesome shot.

The first official car show at the new Ace Cafe with Cruisin Orlando was a massive success. Thank you to all who attended and braved the heat. My sincerest apologizes to those who had to be directed to the two overflow lots. I can't recall a single show that I have ever uttered the words "I'M FULL".

And on behalf of Ace Cafe, they also apologize for not anticipating the passion of the car community. But on Saturday August 5, 11am-2pm, Ace Cafe will be ready when Cruisin Orlando returns. See you at the Ace!

When you're producing Car & Bike Shows and you finally realize that you're older than most of the Hot Rods attending, it's time to retire. However, we have a couple that have worked years of countless volunteer hours to support our hobby, which now need our help, because of health issues. So now a ton of great people are helping me to produce a great Car & Bike Show to raise money. 100% of all of the money collected will go directly to them. Everything needed to produce this fantastic event has been donated. There also will be dash plaques for the first 150 vehicles! I'm asking every motorsports fan to support this very worthwhile event!

Tin Tops take Lime Rock Park Historic Festival

Tuesday, 27 June 2017

Tin Tops return to the Lime Rock Park Historic Festival, drawing a grid of pre-1970 sporting sedans for a second year of spirited competition. Volvo, Datsun, Lotus Cortina, Ford Cortina, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Morris Mini and MG will be among the marques taking to the track in pursuit of Historic Festival Chairman Murray Smith's "Tin Top Trophy."
The field will be especially tough this year with the entry of racing veteran "speedy" David Porter, who Smith predicts will be a "real threat in the tin top race." Porter will challenge the pack in his recently-acquired 1965 Lotus Cortina Mk1, which he debuted at Summit Point in May. "I have always driven open-top, purpose-built race cars since I started competing in 1981, and began to fancy a shot at a production-based racer with a roof," explains Porter. "Lotus Cortinas are iconic, having clinched victory with many famous drivers, including Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart."
Lime Rock Park is a favorite course for Porter, who has captured top three placements in past Historic Festival outings in his Lotus 69 Formula Ford and March 79B. In addition, he has garnered 10 racing championships since 1981, including a UK national Formula Ford Championship in 1987 and back-to-back Historic Indy Lights Championships in 2011 and 2012. Porter also won the Classic 12 Hour at Sebring in 2016.
Porter's Cortina was a road car until 2011, when London classic car dealer Howard Wise converted it to a FIA Appendix K. It was a consistent frontrunner in the hands of Steve Soper and John Young at both the Goodwood Revival and the Members' Meeting. The car has a highly-tuned Lotus Twin Cam engine producing 183 hp and 140 lbs of torque, and it revs to 8500.

Lime Rock Park Historic Festival 35 presented by the Prestige Family of Fine Cars brings three days of historic racing on September 1, 2 and 4; registration is open here. The September 3 Sunday in the Park Concours d'Elegance and Gathering of the Marques punctuates the annual Labor Day weekend event. Click here for further information.
