the test and tunes at bradenton are heavily dependent on who is running the lanes.

the one guy is good, pays attention to the cars and matches them up, makes sure all lines move etc.

the other guy hot laps the same lane for half hour and if youre not in that lane you dont get any runs, if you are in that lane you get 30.

For getting work done, Fat Body Performance is my go to. Kyle is great and has great pricing on parts or labor as well.

There is plenty to do, between cars and coffee at dupont, exotic car brunch at world of beer, cash days at lakeland, and usually something happening at bradenton every month. Few different shops have dyno days pretty often. Facebook seems to be the best way to find stuff going on though for sure

One of the biggest Cars & Coffee anywhere is the 3rd Saturday of the month at DuPont registry in Clearwater

Reeves Porsche in Tampa has a C&C that they call a Motorsports Gathering on the 1st Saturday of the month (this Saturday)

Tampa Autosports is the place to go for LS mods and tuning. Friday nights they usually have a car meet.
