Lashway Motorsports location in Orlando? Perhaps... We've been talking to a lot of members on here and we keep hearing the same thing: WE NEED A SHOP IN ORLANDO!
I have also heard this from other enthusiasts on other forums we sponsor.
I want to gauge the market up there. We would like input from Orlando/Tampa/Daytona (and surrounding areas) members as to what current options are and what it is that you're all looking for. May be worth it for us to open a satellite shop to serve the LSx market up there.
Thanks in advance for any info!

Orlando needs it. Daytona could not support it. This is a tough economy, so I would start small up here if you do it.
Let me know if I can help you in any way. I owe ya for the shirt and tour :-)

Right off of OBT in just north of Hunters creek and very close to CFRC. Or on East Orlando 50 in between OBT and Bithlo, large rang but still not too far from OSW and not too far from the general Central Florida area. Closer to I-4 and 50 area though.

Back on topic, I think it would be great to have another local shop. My advice: to survive in CFL you have to do a bunch of BS stuff like organizing meets, dyno days, bbq's, track events, etc. The shops that don't do that around here don't end up lasting for some reason.
I've heard nothing but great things about Lashaway, so I'm sure you guys would do well here!

Lamotta builds some NASTY cars, both Ford and GM. what did they ever do to you to deserve you talking **** about them?

yea I know Jack, I worked with him when he had that lightning actually. I'll admit I heard some bad things about their shop back then, but in recent years I've heard nothing but good things. I work right next to their shop, so I run into them a lot. Pat and Jake are both really nice guys, and my friend Brian Black (used to own Black's Automotive) is friends with them and does a lot of business with them. From what I understand they've really turned that business around in recent years.

He is my brother in law and he pointed your car out a few times when you worked in Lake Mary
Maybe it was the fact that I have a LT1, you tell people that and they think you have a STD and run for the hills!
