Anyone from NW Florida or surrounding areas?
 
Just wondering if anyone on this forum still active is from NW Florida or the surrounding areas?

Pensacola, Pace, Milton, Navarre, Niceville, Crestview, even Daphne AL, Spanish Fort AL, etc??

Every now and then I see some guys around the area near Pensacola and Milton, but have not met many guys.

We need some kind of meet around the area. I know about Pensacola on 9 mile road at burger king / winn dixie, but would rather go with a few other people sometime..

jrmchevyman 08-25-2012 08:45 PM

No one lol?? Just trying to possibly meet some new people.

BigKID 08-26-2012 10:23 AM

I am a little farther to the east in Panama City Beach. I have found the car seen in the area has declined significantly over the past few years. Pensacola used to be a pretty happening place. It may still be and I am just out of the loop now. :dunno:

BLUES MAN 08-26-2012 11:44 AM

Im over in the ocala area, id be down for a meet if it was big enough...

I5M5 08-29-2012 02:13 PM

I still troll around from time to time. BK is still the place to go although I haven't been in a few years. The truck scene has dropped off a lot. Things were on a decline prior to the recession and then it really flat lined afterwards.

NightmareTBSS 08-29-2012 04:22 PM

Im in Spanish Fort and Work in Loxley, AL

Ive been living here almost a year and havent found ANY truck/car scene. Just for that reason I sold my modded tbss and bought a 12 silverado. The scene where I use to live (Jackson, MS) ALWAYS had stuff going on!

jrmchevyman 08-29-2012 09:56 PM

Well if any of you guys wants to setup a dyno day, I can contact Adams Automotive in Crestview Florida and see about a group discount. That way we can have a little fun and meet up..

Let me know.. I am going to get mine dynoed sometime anyhow with current mods and go back after I do some more work to my truck.

NightmareTBSS 08-30-2012 11:30 AM

I dont have anything worthy of putting on a dyno anymore! haha..

The tbss was fun to play with but I sold it last week

FLREPOMAN 12-11-2012 02:04 PM

clearwater here

mdwatts11 12-11-2012 04:17 PM

I'm in Pcola. I would be interested in getting together with some of y'all. I've got an nnbs 5.3 with Blackbear, cai, and exhaust- so not much dyno worthiness. I am looking to do some stuff in the future though... Isky 212, 4L80e and turbo in the next few years.

What is this Burger King meet you speak of?

I'm right by the Fairgrounds.

90Chevy 01-04-2013 05:24 PM

I am in Marianna Fl., north of Panama City. There a a few trucks that show up at the dragstrips in Cottonwood and Panama City. Cottonwood has the Arm Drop and lights out races where you negotiate lengths, Panama City has Funday Sunday which is test and tune along with grudge races. Would like to see more truck action.

I'm in PC with this big lunk head ;) But I'd be down for a truck meet. *Cough* Kenny*cough*

01GMC5.3 01-26-2013 10:13 PM

I live in Andalusia, Al a little under 2 hours north west but I would love a truck meet some where close that would be nice for a change

Anytime buddy. All you gotta do is call. :cheers:

01GMC5.3 02-07-2013 08:49 PM

anymore thought on a meet ??

jrmchevyman 02-07-2013 09:53 PM

Im down for one. It's hard to get one actually started though. I'd be willing to drive to Fairhope, daphne / Spanish Fort area to the west of me and to the East of me all the way past Crestview If needed. Someone set one up, I'm down on a weekend.

There's a Camaro/Firebird Meet coming up March 30 in Destin, but you can be assurred we'd not turn any GM enthusiasts away- I'll be rolling over in the truck towing my Fireturd, so anyone who would like to join in feel free- We can create a truck section in a hurry. ;)

jrmchevyman 02-21-2013 10:27 PM

Oh wow, this makes me excited! Might have to make it to that meet and bring my brother along. Those are my neck of the woods, grew up in that area. Thanks for letting me know man! I really do want to go!

Yeah rite on the Fireturd. I have the slowrado.

02 WS6 TA 02-22-2013 06:33 AM

See you there!

BigKID 02-22-2013 09:48 AM

Sounds like fun. That's my B-day weekend so as long as my wife don't already have something planned I am down like a Cadillac on four flat tires! :D

02 WS6 TA 02-23-2013 07:13 AM

:woot: Come on wit it! We'll be meeting at K-Mart by the bridge at 11:30.

02 WS6 TA 03-19-2013 05:29 AM

Bump for anyone else to join in... 11 days until the Destin GTG...

90Chevy 03-20-2013 05:31 PM

FNLO Friday Night Lights Out, Arm drop street style racing at Cottonwood Alabama just a few miles north of the Florida border. Don't be scared!

90Chevy 03-20-2013 05:33 PM

It's at Cottonwood Dragstrip so it's legal!

BigKID 03-21-2013 08:59 AM

Have they cleaned that place up any? Last time I was there (probably 3-4 years ago) you needed a 4x4 to go down the track due to all the rocks/debris on it.

90Chevy 03-21-2013 08:14 PM

I was at Cottonwood 2 weeks ago and the track was working good. They have hired Big Scott that used to prep at Panama City. My truck usually has a traction problem and it was hooked pretty good.

Hahaha, that's true :) Were you there the night Jeff broke the LT1 CJ7?

BigKID 03-22-2013 06:27 PM

No. Last time I was there was with Jake and he broke the 'nanner.

02 WS6 TA 03-23-2013 07:35 AM

Um, that would be everytime he took that thing out. That's the only car (arguably) that ever broke more than mine.

jrmchevyman 03-24-2013 03:22 PM

I'm just checking in. Still plan to show up no doubt. I am getting my brother to come along, but I might have to pick him up in Niceville.

02 WS6 TA 03-24-2013 07:23 PM

Time is clicking by faster than I planned- Still gotta get the car and truck out of hibernation sometime this week- I'd better get on the ball!

cope07rst 04-28-2013 09:01 AM

Well fellas, if I was home I would love to join in on all of it, but right now I'm stuck on this god forsaken rock called Okinawa cause the military told me to. But when I do come home I'm sure I could round up a pretty decent sized group to have some outings and rides and things

Jaketyson 06-17-2013 10:16 PM

I'm from dothan al. Cottonwood has cleaned up a bunch over the years. They have lights out the last Friday of every month. Y'all ought to come out

NattyLight 06-18-2013 12:53 PM

I live in Mary Esther down near Hurlburt Field. A few friends and I are going out to Atmore Dragway this Sunday for the test and tune or at least that's the plan as of now.

Hey Jaketyson look me up when your at FNLO.I will be there next week. I'm in the brown 1990 Chevy truck running in true street. I have been to most of the races it's a blast!

90Chevy 06-27-2013 09:17 PM

Friday Night Light Out/Cottonwood,Al
 
FNLO is tomorrow night, this Ol Brown Truck could really use some backup with all these Mustangs, Camaros and such. If y'all can't make it I will have to represent the trucks as best i can,come onnn.
Arm drop street racin on the track, negotiate lengths

cope07rst 06-29-2013 08:53 AM

Hey guys, just wanted to see if we could hook up some kind of meet or something just to make a few Chevy enthusiast friends. I'm actually stationed in Japan as I said before but I'll be home sometime in September and the last few days of August. If anyone wants to meet up I have a few friends I could possibly round up as well. I would be in Milton btw.

ridnlow 07-04-2013 11:16 PM

I am over in Mobile, if I have something to drive by then I would love to meet up with some of you guys.

cope07rst 08-18-2013 06:35 AM

Hey fellas, I'm bout to make a trip home from Okinawa and I'll be in the Milton and Poland area from about the 29th of August til the 24th of September and I'd like to get something together with some of you fellow enthusiasts one weekend. Maybe set up some kind of cruise, or some racing and saw someone talking bout hooking a group dyno day up for cheap. If anyone has any ideas or knows of any shows or anything then let's do it.

jrmchevyman 09-06-2013 11:57 PM

I'm down if someone sets up something. I have a full time job now with not much spare time so I cannot set up a meet atm.
