Default orlando visit (skittle action!)

tonight i went over to sell a part to someone near i-drive. we chose to meet at a restaurant parking lot. i pull in early, there's a group of sti's and evo's there. i think cool. one of them talks to me, yadda yadda, they usually meet up tues/thurs, but are out tonight just cruising. after i sell my part i find them down the road. so i am invited to come have some fun with them. group consisted of about 4 evo's (1 MR), 2 sti's, a skittle, 2 cobalts, bmw e36 sedan.

they took a look at my engine, got skurred thought i was fast or something. (im not) i get paired up with the skittle, which seems to be the fastest of the group. stage 2, lots of bolt on's, full exhaust!!!! :gasp: haha 40 roll, me in 3rd gear, puts me at 3k rpms, full boost is at 3300, redline at 7. 40 is my favorite roll now. skittle jumps out almost 2 cars as i proceed to lay twin 205mm tire strips down, once i stop spinning, its even, with me coming back hard in 4th. try again, similar results.

after that i never really got in another race. all the evo's were at various stages of tune, so i got to find out who was inching out the other. skittle was quicker than the MR by a tad, followed by one of the STi's.

all in all a pretty nice night. their tracks are okay, well lit but not as "safe" as some of the local lakeland tracks. i did get some numbers and names, and told them of the fun and adventures that await them if they come to lakeland...so i got some prospects...they said they can possibly get a good amount of cars to show up, but not sure on how many would trek out to BFE.

i told them tampa will be waiting and willing to meet halfway
if not, a road trip is in order perhaps...
