a couple pages up, I suggested a place that would be a good meeting location. It's on an old retired airstrip at my school. We use it now for testing our formula SAE car, the cops use it for training, and students in general are allowed to use the area for whatever purposes hey feel like it. In a couple months I'll be helping a friend of mine who is in film school shoot a really cool car chase scene there.

My point is, its paved, really big, close to I95, and can fit a lot of cars. Might be something to consider.

<edit>
oh, btw, i forgot to mention that its free to use as long as the cops aren't hogging it.

OH I remember that....... The place I can haul @$$ down the air strip...... I would love to have our meet there. Its in Boca Raton right?

yep

I wouldn't mind having a meet in Rockledge as it sure beats driving down to Miami. My civic isn't exactly a race car but maybe I can borrow my friend's new genesis coupe and take it for a spin, I have been dying to max that car out.

Sounds like a good location, just one question are there any shaded area's there? Standing in the hot Florida sun for a few hours is not fun

Lok, Where does your friend live? My work is looking for people with the genesis coupe. We are starting to develop part for it and need some people to test out prototypes. Would he be interested? How far is he from boca raton?

Kimota,
there is no shade in the actual lot itself, unless someone brings one of those tent-roof things. When I've gone autocrossing with my work, they would bring one of those, and it seems to work pretty well. There is a covered walkway on campus that is not too far from the lot, with a starbucks. But I don't know how security would feel about a large number of unregistered people congregating on campus. They for sure wouldn't care about us hanging out in the open lot, and most likely if people keep it civil and quiet they wont care about hanging out on he main campus as well. It would probably be best to have the meet on a sunday as that is not as busy as a weekday.
