Default Newbie in Jacksonville

Hey guys joined the forum a few days ago, finally make my first LS purchase. I just recently moved to Jacksonville (UNF area) and was wondering if there were any clubs or meets anywhere around here? Moved up here for my gf and her schooling and don't have any friends up here lol
Thanks, Jimmy

Welcome to the area. The first coast car council has a cruise in schedule that moves around Jax. They are having one at the Krystal on Merrill rd this saturday I believe. River city performance is a local club/site for GM/ls people. They are having are having a get together saturday afternoon. You need to go to the site and introduce yourself. Read the event thread about it for more information.

Welcome to the site, and Welcome to Florida. I am a recent transplant too, so I know how it is moving to any area without any friends. There's a great group of guys on here and I'm sure you'll be making friends in no time.

I'm going to South Georgia Motorsports Park in Adel, GA tomorrow (if it doesn't rain) Going to meet a buddy there who has HPtuners. You are welcome to meet us out there, its not a terrible drive from Jax.

Look for a White Z28 & a Dark Grey Supercharged Silverado.

Welcome! I go to UNF, live in Mandarin and work downtown so Im all over the town. Normally UNF has a car club that meets up. If you have a facebook, here is the group.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/UNFARC/

Also I think its the second to last saturday of the month, there is a massive show off main street full of muscle cars and anything you can think of. ls2silverbullet will probably chime in. We use to have a pretty decent meet out off Blanding about every other week but that kind of died off
