I considered Lakeland night events, but it doesn't add up for me.

I get off @ 6pm. I work in N St Pete. Friday Traffic to Lakeland = 1.5 hours if not more. I need to change clothes, and possibly tires. By 8-8:30pm, I may be ready. Event is over at midnight. Tire wear is MORE @ lakeland than OCala.

So explain, how do you safely accomidate those showing up late? They will miss TECH, and the drivers meeting. either way, there are too many questions that remain.
