I have a condo in siesta key and go there quite often, but won't be there during that time.

Go down to the village, shops just north of the beach and hit up daqurie deck, or how ever you spell it. they have a good happy hour and have like 30 diferent kinds of frozen drinks already made up. it is a good time.

There is a Hooters at the southeast corner of 41 and Stickney Point. They used to have a decent car/bike turnout on saturdays, haven't been up there in a long while.

RevXtreme/ Mullis Race Cars is on old 301 at 6115 15th St E in Bradenton not too far north of the airport. Cool shop. They sometimes have a car show and dyno day with a good turn out.

The next hooters car show isn't until the first weekend in sept, they have bike nights every week on thursdays. Here's a schedule of local events: http://www.wsrz.com/pages/cruisin.html

looks like you've got Beef O' Brady's in Lakewood ranch on the 15th, Alberson's in Venice on the 21st, and Taco Bell on clark rd on the 22nd.

Here's another schedule, but not quite as informative:
http://www.collectorcarstv.com/events.htm

I might be able to make the Venice Albertson's or the Taco Bell, shoot me a PM if u want or if there's any other local info I can help with.

Wanna have some fun? PM me and I'll give you my cell # and meet you for a little harmless tire burnin, pedal-fest, street racing Fla style to complete the experience, lol. I live in North Port 2 mins. from that Sonic. I'll roll the beast out of the garage and play.

10-4 on not wanting to ride on a tow truck back home, lol.

There's some *** around here, not sure what'll be at Sonic. Never been there for a show. I'll head up there around 6 if it's not raining.
