Default Any Meets Near Suntree/Viera/Melbourne/Merritt Island?

I would love to attend a Florida gathering. I've been here seven months and know absolutely no one outside of work. What can I say -- I need a few friends, and in Maryland my best ones were my car buddies.

I'm not what most car guys expect -- a little older than most and I just like these cars, a lot! Not looking for anything but some new friendships.

So, where's the next gathering?

If you see a black out 4-eyed fox, that is loud that is me, has a LS in it.
Or a purple 52 studebaker commander.

The biggest show in the area is the 3rd Thursday of every month the 5 guys at 95 and Palm Bay rd. That is the only one I usually head out to anymore.
There is a show every Wednesday at the hogie shop on Wickem and Sarno.

Not a lot of action that I know of, but I don't go out too
much. There used to be the "ricer meet" on Merritt Island
somewhere (Toys-r-us?). Before they rerouted Nasa Blvd,
on Wednesdays there was a muscle meet at Double's on
the corner of Wickham. The Hooter's on Nasa @ Babcock
had meets for a while. Nothing seems to last, really.

Brevardmotorsports.org is a local enthusiast board, seems
to be mostly import-oriented kids but some domestic
muscle types hang out there for whatever reason.

Other local 'boards seem to come and go.

So, it's a little bit of everywhere and nowhere. Bummer. I am working on moving in the next ten days to Merritt Island (between the Pineda & 520). After that I think I'll try to come up to the one on Palm.

Looks like I just might have to join a bowling league if there's no gatherings, lol!

My car will be back up and running tomorrow after waiting on damn parts for the intake swap. Merritt island use to have some decent turn outs. Whats the five guys meet? I live like 5 min from the island so nothing is really far.

Any of you locals know how to tune a carb cause Id like to take my 69 camaro out but i cant tune a carb lol.

Looks like I'll have to find the Five Guys...

The other place, Doubles -- what and where is that?
