Default Moving to FL.
Well I am currently in the process of moving from Chicago To Florida. I will be moving to winter park in december. Just wanted to see what there was to do/car meets etc.
Anything cool to do?
How are the cops?
How is the local track scene and what tracks are there (location and 1/8 or 1/4)?
