1) you really have to need to adjust your use of the GO pedal
2) if you do have a thermostat problem you are probably running too rich
3) I will be in Daytona Saturday but Sunday is ok
***1) pretend you have an egg under the GO Pedal and accelerate slower and stop that running through the lower gears like a race car and then shifting the higher gears at 2500k. You're lugging your engine * remember I have been a passenger with you.
4) we will get to the problem
whats amazing me is the lack of people wanting to go .
Don't forget there's a bunch of folks on the Gearhead forum prepping to meet you guys.
sorry Yata not on that forum so I'm not aware of them like you and Thumper probabaly are
I'm definitely looking forward to this excursion. :3
This thread has been sleeping quietly. I know we have a month to go,I was wondering if anyone else wanted to join us.
I'm open for changes,maybe we keep heading South and invade Phatty and the Tampa crew somewhere. I'll be sorry for suggesting this but Yata and his Gearheads could head North and we can have a mini meet somewhere. Spur of the moment meet for lunch. Just sayin'
Now that's what I'm talking about. I'm sure there would be some of us wanting to go. I'll post this thread up on the club site.

Hey guys and gals,I have a plan ( yes it's another hair brained Thumper scheme). I propose a 3 point meet ending at Quaker Steak and Lube in St Pete. The Orlando crew would make our planned run but instead of heading back,we'd hit Sugar Loaf on the way South. After the crazy curves on the South of 50 part we head South to St Pete where we hook up with the Gearheads and the Tampa crew.
Chops,maybe you can organize the Tampa crew,if you can't do this then I'll help Omar the camel jockey to do your end.
We can go to St Pete Q.S.&L. or a point further North. We can all meet up for a lunch and a meet with all our good friends. No prizes,raffles,T shirts,or drama,just a fun mini meet where the purpose is to drive our cars. I am pretty sure Yata can hold up his end,the Gearheads seem to be in for the ride. F86 and I can handle the Orlando crew. St Pete may be a little South for the Orlando crew but maybe Phat and his herd of camels can find a more convenient location. This would be a great way to get Mazdaroadsters off and running in Florida.
I would propose Feb 26th as this is the date we have set for the Orlando small group run.We could all be home by sunset and I'm pretty sure we could find a scenic place for pictures and so far the winter weather has been fantastic for top down cruising. If it gets cold,put up the windows and turn on the heat.

I think this will be Gearhead approved but will there be any raffles, T shirts and prizes?
Thanks for putting this together.

Quaker Steak and Lube ftw! Have an entire meet at the end there, I'll show up for sure!
Not sure how exciting it would be for you Tampa guys to drive a couple blocks but the more the merrier.
this should definitely be fun
