Default Orlando here I come...

I wrote a while back I was considering cities around Orlando and its official I'll be a resident next week! I am leaving my comfort zone with local hook ups and buds. So anyone live in Winter Garden area? I'll be looking for some new buds.

Cool any meetings or clubs?

How far is the 1/4 track from Winter Garden? Is it called Bandimer or something?

When I've been up there with my family I've seen a few guys meet up at old town...

Orlando Speed World. There is also some other 1/8th mile track with a autocross or short road course or something.

Traffic on 50.

on the corner of 50 and orange. we meet up on sat nights starting around 10ish.

the closest track would be orlando speed world, or cfrc. or you could drive down towards tampa and go to the Bradenton track

Ok I know where 50 and turnpike is. So which way is Orange? Is it a good mix young 20s/older30s+?

I'm one of the few that does it all. I turn my own wrenches, I just need help with tunning.

Let me know.

I-4 and 50 you can't miss it. Get off of I-4 and head west and it is about 1000ft after the railroad tracks. You have to go down to the Circle K and turn around to come back to the "corner"

So is there a few guys out there? about how many?

I'd still have to look up if I-4 is East or West of the turnpike.

Does anyone know the exit # for 50 off the turnpike??

Thanks!

Bandimer (Bandimere) is all the way out near Denver, CO. That'd be a little bit of a drive, lol.

Don't go to Old Town. Full of imports and disrespectful tourists who like to leave fingerprints (or worse) all over your car The first (and last) time I took my car out there, I saw some little kid who wasn't watching where he was goin' run full boar into the side of someones' gorgeous '69 Camaro, leaving a nice kid sized dent in his driver door

And yeah, Central Florida Racing Complex http://cfracingcomplex.com/ and Orlando Speedworld http://www.orlandospeedworld.org/ are your two closest tracks.

As others said, there's usually a good crowd at the corner. I'll be out there tonight (sat) with my car finally.
