Hey all! I'll be moving to Winter Haven next month. My TA will finally be getting worked on after 2.5 years. Look forward to meeting all of you, hope there is still a street scene going on!

Also, I will be the owner of an 8 bay shop... plenty of room to hangout/meet up after hours!

The shop is currently fully staffed, but staffing is always considered. If you would like, I will shoot you a PM after I get down there and situated.

Really look forward to hanging with you guys/girls, and getting my TA back on the road! We will create a new "scene" down there, Saturday night party spot at the shop anyone? Sounds good to me!

It's a relief to see some activity in this section for Polk county.

General repair/maintenance. Have a great team working with us right now, shop is a great place. Smaller meets are just as good!

The biggest problem is there are no fast street cars here!! . New faces are always welcome. The track seen is decent here also.

Hopefully my TA gets up and running sooner then later, add something to the scene.

I have a Procharger kit, but I'm not gonna be using it. Twin turbo is on the horizon.

Anyone hitting the track tomorrow night (LMP)? What time do they open up the gates? I haven't been out there in months. Need to go test the nitrous out one last time and put it up for sale.
