there are all kind of meets that go on all over the tampa area. are you looking for meets with fbodys only or just car meets. if car there is the ronnie setser show first weekend of every month i believe, over in pinellas on us 19 and 110 ave. i forget when most of the domestic guys are there. Second saturday of every month murrays speed shop on south dale mabry has a cruise in. i know there is more then that also. i think that the guys with f-body inc. have a meet over in brandon. i think there is another group of f-body's around but don't hear much from them. i have met a most of the f-body inc. guys, really awsome club and bunch of cool guys.

Well ****....lets get the ball rollin......ANY IDEAS on where and what day (FRI or SAT?)

My 2cents... would be nice if it was in tampa......some where close to the bridges so Pinellas and other areas over the bridges can make it over with no problem.....and Saturday..Less traffic (everyone not rushing to get home)

And I say once a month...so it doesn't die out.........

i believe he meant that the car club itself does dues, but i have hung out with that group before, they hang out alot, with several different folks obviously not associated with the group

Thats cool when I lived in Omaha there was a cool group of dudes military and civilian that were really cool. We go to the local sonic or whatever and hang sometimes they would "settle" the score I like the type of group that hangs and talks **** to keep that level of drama, friendly drama! I hope to find that in Tampa when I get there in June/July.
