    Damn that would be a cool event to attend. Might be a stretch with Good-Guys going on the following weekend up here in Charlotte.

    Here's the deal. Saturday is Rats&Rods at Don Garlits. Billetproof Drags is Sunday in Lakeland and there's talk of a Saturday night Drive-in or cruise somewhere. The museum is amazing, Rats & Rods was possibly the best show this year(in the area) and the Billetproof Drags was the best show last year. Do the weekend. If you can go and you don't, you don't like cars.

    I'm going. I've got to find some gears for a ford 8 inch. I've got 3.00's in it now. My son says the Titanic moved away from the dock faster than my car accelerates.

    Well Dallas will probably not be running is chevy this year, so you might have to bury me. I think with your chop, your killing me on wind resistance.

    This is gonna be a great weekend. The F-bombs auto club have put together some Saturday evening meet and greet entertainment. This is a Rats n Rods after-party as well as a Billetproof pre-party. If you're planning on hitting both events, Tampa is the half-way point between Ocala and Lakeland. It is about an hour or so south of the museum and a cruise down hwy 41 or interstate 75-275 is a straight shot.
    Located in historic Seminole Heights is Ella's Folk Art Cafe. It's Owned by a fellow HAMBer and is gonna make the perfect spot to kick back with your family and or car buddies. It is a restaurant/bar with an outdoor patio and is great for a low-key dinner or up-beet drinks with friends. They open at 5 pm and serve dinner till 11:00. At 10:30 things will loosen up a bit. We've got Big Jeff Special playing their brand of traditional country music. If you haven't heard these guys, you wont be disappointed. You might even recognize an infamous HAMBer on the upright bass.By the end of the night we should all be recharged and there should be plenty of scores to settle the next morning at the dragstrip.
    For those of you planning on staying in a hotel for the night, there a plenty in the area. I would recommend the Red Roof Inn on Hwy 301 and Interstate 4. A lot of you may know this as the Hotel across the street from the Florida State Fairgrounds. It's the host hotel for the Streetrod Nationals. It's about 10 minuets from Ella's.
