![]() Hello everyone.... Well, tonight I had a bit of a wake up call. I decided to take a turn at about 40+
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, the brunt of my question is.... are there any tracks, or legal off-roads anywhere in South or Central Florida, where I can rid my system of all my driving urges???? I really don't want to be driving like that again in suburbia ![]() Oh well....... pass one off to the luck goddess. Sorry if some of my sentences did not make sense. Blue

![]() blue,
i think i met up with you one time in daytona, right? boy, was that a night not too rmember...can you say the shark lounge? anyway, i think it was buttsy on this forum that posted some pics of a sweet dirt road area off of 192, heading west from brevard...he said it was about 15-20 miles west. if you search back on his posts, you might find it. i know another guy w/ a blue wrx that took his car out to the sarno flats, but he also popped a tire ![]() the best option is the autocross they do like once a month in palm bay. there is one sunday, but i can't make it, unfortunately. |

![]() No, I'm not under 18, I'm 21 actually. And the only reason he called my parents, well the two reasons, was 1) because I'm a City of Ft. Lauderdale Employee, and 2) because he saw that the car was registered to to my parents, as well as the insurance, which led him to believe that I still lived with my parents, which I do, because I'm still going to school.
STItuner, I wish I could take off for the Dragon.... however my work does not allow me to take many days off, and I already took off for the I-club meet in Tampa. AndyWRX, YEAH, that was me! ![]() ![]() Anyway, I'll check out that dirt road you were talking about. However, I've decided that sometime within the next month I'm going to drive near the Gainesville area and do the "Ivor Wigham's European Rally and Performance Driving School" I'll do the 3 to 1 ratio, which costs $625 and is a 10 hour course, which I'll get 2 hours seat time. I can't wait. Thanks for all the help guys. Blue |

![]() I'm from the Orlando area. I just drove this past weekend on the Sebring Track. It was a Panoz Driving School. I had 2 1/2 hours of track time for $ 325.00. It was great. I hit top speeds of 115-120. It was well worth the money.

![]() scoobiblue, do you have any contact info or a webpage for the Sebring track or the Panzo Driving school? For half the price, I'd like to at least check into it.... although, I think when you say track, you're talking about like an OVAL, right? I'm more interested in the "Rally" type school. I wanna know how to drift, e-brake handling, everything I can get my hands on!
![]() But some info on them, ie: Website, or telephone number would be much appreciated. Blue |

consider yourself pretty lucky with the cop too. i got 2 tickets in the past 3 months, one for speeding (which i've gone much much slower since then), and the other like 3 days ago for making an illegal left turn. it was my one year anniversary with my girl and i was taking her to south beach when i got lost and made an illegal left turn (btw i had no idea it was illegal) trying to get going in the right direction, and the cop was right there waiting for me. i pleaded with him to give me a warning so i wouldn't get points, he wasn't having it. i wish he would have called my parents (i still live at home too)! oh yeah, and a white van did the same thing i did right behind me, and the cop decided to just pull me over and let the van go. i'm still pissed. ![]() |

![]() Yeah, DarkRex.... I do consider myself extremely lucky that I was not cited, and that only my parents were called. I still find it very strange and amusing, that he did call the parents of a 21 year old male........ Maybe he likes Subaru's??? No, I think what REALLY saved my skin, was the fact that I work for the city. Any other city I would have done that in, you could put money down on the fact that I would have gotten those tickets.
That does really suck though, that he let the other guy get away with it...... DISCRIMINATION!!! SUBIE HATER! ![]() Sorry about your tickets. The only suggestion I can give you is, get a job with every city you can! Blue |
