The north leg will start Friday morning April 24 in Pensacola
with rally points in Defuniak Springs, Cottondale, lunch at
Miller’s Ale House Restaurant in Tallahassee, Live Oak, The
Osceola National Forest Olustee Battlefield Museum, dinners at
Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and spend the night at the Crowne
Plaza Hotel in Jacksonville. We have covered and secure
parking.
Also on Friday, the south leg will begin in Tampa, with rally
points in Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Bonita Springs (Lunch),
Miami/Fort Lauderdale, and Deerfield Beach. Hotel and dinner
are
TBD.
On Saturday the north leg group will stop in St. Augustine at a
point of interest being arranged now, Daytona, and join up with
the south leg group in Melbourne for lunch. The south group
will stop in Jupiter, Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach and lunch in
Melbourne. Then the combined groups will caravan to Old
Town. We will arrive as a group and park together in the most
prominent place of display that is being reserved for us. The
host hotel is Comfort Suites Maingate East and is right next to
the display area where will be parked.
Check out the above link for the Old Town Car Show. It should
be a lot of fun! Sunday morning, we’ll get together for
breakfast and then part company and head home. Arrangements
for caravans can be discussed at breakfast.
We currently have 33 cars signed up and expect more. We will
have T-shirts and static cling decals similar to those for the
Monte Carlo Rallye, The Great Race, The Camel, etc. All
details and registration information will be finalized by the end
of February. Please join us for the first annual 24 Heures De La
Floride by registering on
