the event had a car show/ motorcycle racing circuit / drag racing imports / DJ, live entertainment / bouncy houses for the kids/ food drinks / vendors all over/ etc and guess how many 350's went.... 3.. yes, only 3 and Moroso is only 50 minutes away from our area driving normally...
Diego was there, he is the guy with the silver turbo 350 with SPEED magazine, an older guy from a different forum and me. that was it.
I think that the main reasons: most people think they car is not show worthy... or they simply are not into shows... SAD but true...
In any case, people did not have to go to participate on the show, just the other things were worth seeing and enjoying...
There was a 300 or 500 price for "the club" with the most members and nobody won that... there was no "club"...
people do not go... That is why there are less and less events... even the big events are showing lack of support.
If we the enthusiast do not support our own sport then who will??
Guys let's hit them shows !!!!

some times also schedule conflicts, I bunch of us from SFZCC were in Naples having a great time check out hilarious pics http://www.sfzcc.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8154 and this date (6/28) we are having a picnic in Jupiter, just need to get a schedule of some events far enough ahead so we can schedule to attend.
but still... the lack of support of our own sport is why there are less events...

Update on Dyno Day: Tentative Date : June 6
There will be a Maximum of 15 cars only for the Dyno day. If the shop is not too busy, then maybe they can dyno more cars. We will make a waiting list for the rest.
Gus gave us a great price of $30.00 for 3 runs. If you prepay by June 3, it will only be $25.00.
Paypal payments to horsepowerlogic@gmail.com, and include your username when you make your payment.
If you don't have a Paypal account, give me your payment by May 30,and I will make the Paypal payment for you.
There will be no tuning or cool down, so we keep things moving.
As of now, there are 13 cars, 2 more to go, then they go to the waiting list. If you are on the waiting list, you will end up paying $30.00 dollars on that same day.
1. JR
2. Wesley C
3. Milton C
4. Edwin
5. Jean
6. Lei
7. Jun
8. Amy C
9. IslandZavage
10. Miguel
11. 49
12. Luis
13. John C
I need each one on the list to confirm that they are going by putting C beside their name When I make the new thread next week, if you haven't confirmed yet, I will remove your name on the new thread.
Thanks to Gus
for hooking us up with HP Logic!!

The whole event was super nice... I just posted something about it but since you asked...

I hope you understand Ricky, and that you're not upset about this post of mines. That's how I simply feel about the matter...

I could no agree more with you.. I understand that people have their personal situations and all of that.. trust me I do 
I was just making a statement...which is my humble opinion...
people go if they want and can go.. people will not go if they do not want or can't go... that is simple LOL
I am nobody to tell people what to do or not, where to go or where not to go... you and everyone that knows me should know that by now because it was made very clear in the past...
Im just an enthusiast that feels that the sport should get a little more support... that is it... no more than that... In any case the event was awesome...
I will go to the events if I can and will not if I can not.. is that simple LOL
The hangs outs... the hangouts are great... that is how I got to meet a lot of new people here. Im glad that there is some spicing going on...
I used to leave the meets early cause like you and I both know it gets boring after a while... I have not been to the meets but maybe one day...
I could not agree more on your other point: "those who aren't in the mood to do any of that, then won't go...But I'm not going to be upset if they can't or don't wanna go..."
Upset???
why would I be upset about your post?? you are stating the truth... besides it takes a lot for me to get mad
Dale brother... nos fuimos a FUEGO !!!

Hey Ricky, I understand where you're coming from bro...And the thing is that I wish I could show my car at every car event there is...But the honest truth is "I CAN'T!!!" I have a Dad to take care of and just recently I needed a break and went to HIN to showoff the ride, etc...I had the same mentality as you a few months back kind of being upset that there are cars out there that are show worthy amongst our friends that don't show, and that even if the car isn't car worthy to still go, just to have fun and be around others to have a good time...But to tell you the truth I've quit all of that. When I'm able to show, I'll show...And when others feel like showing off their rides and go to car events even if their car isn't car worthy, they'll go, etc...And I'm not only talking about car events...I'm even talking about BBQ and Big Car Meet events...If they can go, they'll go...If they can't due to some kind of reason and don't feel like going, then let them have that decision. I'm not going to be a Father figure around my friends like I've been in the past being upset if somebody doesn't want to show their car. It's their decision and that's that!! That's how I see it nowadays!!! Some people have reasons not wanting to showoff their cars, and some of them just want to go to only car meets and hangout with us friends just to basically hangout...But when it comes to shows I'll not force them to go. If they want to go, then GREAT!!! If they can't or don't want to go, then let it be and leave them alone, etc...

I'm more into "GO" than "SHOW", I only like to attend some shows, but I never register!
I truly enjoy tuning and modifying my car to my own standards, but I'm just not into shows.

Weekend before that was HIN in Tampa, in which we left our families on a Friday. Then there was the mid week meet @ Starbucks, in which we had a huge turn out on a Wednesday night! Then after that was the Friday SFL G Car Club Mega Meet @ Towers.
For my wifey, for being understanding and all with all those meets, I intend to give her a great weekend for Mother's Day @ Marco Island/Naples. JR might caravan with us going to his mom.
Gotta spice up the meets Milton. Sounds great to me.

TunedC63 I heard what your saying but I also understand Ricky side. The shows are put on for us the Enthusiast and If we don't go to show our passion for this sport why hold a car show?? then when they stop doing them everyone is going to be like " damn how come they aren't holding and car shows". I agree that it is great to mix it up with doing different activities but lets not forget why we got into this sport in the first place. Well those are my 3 cents.
There are tons of other car enthusiasts out there from Dade/Broward/and Palm Beach County that will showoff their cars and keep the support of carshows to continue on...
And yes spicing it up at the meets with some different after meet activities is a good thing coming from my end...But for you to say to not let us forget why we got into this sport in the first place?
WE WILL NEVER FORGET THAT ECLIPSE!!! That's what car meets are for!! We hangout, talk about our cars and talk some BS here and there...And then afterwards keep the group together to do different kinds of things, for example from what I had posted before...
That's basically it...
