We have good weather coming our way in a few months. Anyone interested in a southern Power Tour?
I saw a post of this suggested by BMR. To me sounds great. Chime in if you think you would make the effort to join.

I'd spectate, but my Firebird won't be touring until at least next summer!

I'd be interested. Any possibility of us getting back on Dade/Collier? Are they even considering issuing any more permits? Now that the ECTA has moved to OH there's no Land Speed Racing anywhere in the Southeast.

Thinking during the winter, when it's very cool out 60s daytime. Possibly early Dec or Jan 2013.
I want it structured, so I will need time to work it thru. Hoping to get a couple local Florida vendors involved. BMR, you listening. :)

BMR is moving into their new facility about that time - I suspect they'd prefer more like Feb / March once they are setup...but I'm sure Rich will chime in :)

I'm in. I am in south Florida. I can probably get a few buddy's with non pro-touring members and cars but they are muscle cars. 1969 camaro and 04 convertible mustang. Both nice cars. Plus my 65 nova. Just need details

Not sure, I'm thinking SW FL up to NW FL or vice versa, perhaps the Ft Myers area up to Orlando or suburbs in or around these locations.

Very early stages, really need a sponsor to assist with getting this organized. If enough show interest I am sure one will come forth.

I think starting at BMR new HQ would be a great idea if they want to be involved.
I sent them an email, I'll give it a day or so than follow up with a call.

I stopped by the new facility and spoke to couple of guys there and the idea is to start or have their place as as one of the stops.

We would be interested but we are up in North West Florida. What would be a final destination? Both of our AMC's are a long way off from road worthy buy April but we could cruise in the the kids Mustang.

Well guys, haven't heard from BMR on moving with this. Maybe someone will chime in and make it happen this year or next.

Still kicking around the idea, but our move has been delayed due to the construction of our R&D area construction....pics coming soon......:smoke:

...I'm in! Any words on routing?? If I can suggest, start on west coast (Tampa?).. go south and down, across Alligator Alley; into Miami; up the center to Sebring; over to Orlando; then east to Space COast; up the beach to Daytona; continue up the coast to Jacksonville; over to P-Cola via 98! That would hit all the fun spots!

I am down for a FL power tour. I don't do shows, but rally/cruises/auto-x/drag events I certainly can make room in my schedule for.

What about in November ? Cruise From palm beach county downtown to the keys?

so will this include stops at tracks along the way? Maybe start in Orlando ( as it's in the center of the state ) then cruise west to Tampa and so on.

How far from Orlando are you? I figured that is a pretty centralized town that would be no more than 4-5 hours from just about any location in Florida.

Bygblok

6-7 hours from my house to Orlando, maybe longer if I trailer it!!!

lol, yep drive it on the tour but my camaro was in pieces this summer so we didn't go. Going to try and make the spring turkey run though. Runs down the road great with the 700r4 in it....going to be more fun to drive if I can seal the deal on a tremec I'm trying to latch on to!

Cool, a few years ago I took my '86 930 on a 2500 mile round trip from south Florida up into the mountains of NC and Virginia (turbopalooza). We ended up at VIR for the day then drove back down through Asheville, NC to visit family then back to south Florida. It was a hell of a site as we had about 12 Porsche Turbos screaming thru the winding mountain roads. Now that I think about it maybe we should start in Orlando and go up thru Georgia, better roads and nicer people :)
