Quaker Steak and Lube in St Pete

[Thumper13]

So,now that the chit chat is gone,how about one of you Tampa area dudes set up a meet at Quaker Steak and Lube ?

[Phatmiata]

St. Pete is not Tampa. LOL Ive never been to that QS&L but wanted to get a meet started there.

Picky Picky ! Close enough though.

I'm being informed that there will be a car show at QS&L on 2/26. The manager is getting back to me to see if it will be a big event.

Either way, we're looking at other possible locations.

If Jax and Wax isn't too big we could still meet there. I am certainly open to another suggestion.

How about that lakeside cabin near Sebring you got before. Big bbq?

I spoke with the manager and he said this is the first time they're hosting this, but he says they're expecting about 100 cars.

You know I love u man..............but two trips to Sebring in one month is a little too much for me.

Time for a backup plan Fred!!

[Agent☣Orange]

How about that Wing place in Brandon the Tampa guys hang out at every week?

[Thumper13]

Will hatch one up tonight..............then again Chops,who lives in St Pete,who had no problem busting on the 3 amigos, could also help.

I have a friend who owns a restaurant on St Pete Beach,he may be able to accommodate us. I'll call him this weekend.

Good idea,anybody know of some scenic places to get pic's.

The thing I liked about St Pete is,it's close to Courtney Campbell. I think it may have been afc or blender that said something about a beach right on the Courtney Campbell. Then again Brandon isn't too far away I guess.

What about Hot Rod's BBQ in Lutz. Here's the addy, 18430 Livingston Ave., Lutz, FL 33549, and the website, http://www.hotrodsbbqgrill.com/. For full disclosure, I've never been, but a lot of car guys have good things to say about them.

Sounds good but may be a bit of a haul for our Gearhead friends

[Ron]

Yeah, I had thought about that, but figured I'd throw it out there anyway. It's probably another 40-45 minutes north of QS&L. Somebody on here has to have some ideas in St Pete or Tampa.

Anyone, anyone... Bueller, Bueller, Bueller...???

[Agent☣Orange]

Can't wait.

Really good BBQ, not my fav, but really good!

They guy used to own the gas station next door, until Chevron told him one or the other. He went the rest route!

They have gator meat in their menu! WIN!!!


Too bad I'm in purgatory...

Phat,that looks like a good place to meet and who doesn't love 5 Guys . That looks like a plan for March or April,we are pretty much set for February

[Phatmiata]

when & where is the February event? the local guys are asking.

A consensus of Orlando peeps wants to run the original route as posted in #26 of the Small Orlando Group Run. Basically from Mt Dora South past RT 50 over some back roads North to 536 around Sugarloaf and up to Mt Dora in time for lunch.

I have been going crazy putting together the business plan for my new job,getting an apartment in Boca yada yada,yada . Between that and next weekends stay over the for the Markham Park BBQ I just want a short 1/2 day run. I'll be living down South from Tues till Friday evening on a permanent basis,the wife will kill me if I chew up much of the weekends ( our only time together )after I start the new job.

[afc2112]

Ah, so the O-Town boys are out. Are any of the Gearheads still coming up or will that be pushed back til March/April?

[Thumper13]

Probably be me taking a pilgrimage to them in March ( I hope )

Then again,we could have an impromptu weekend drive in to Q S & L or the 5 Guys over near y'all. Orlando will feature it's lowly representation ( what's new ) and maybe the Gearheads can cruise up. Nothing challenging about any of the drive just a reason to drive somewhere.

[Agent☣Orange]

I thought we were still planning for the 26th right?

[afc2112]

Another option for the multi-club meet (in either March or April) is Hooters right off Courtney Campbell. It's been renovated and is now open.
