Due to the varring timeframes of members and spectators going to the event and driving on FRI and/or SAT, checking into hotels, etc. The orlando crew has NOT come to an aggreeable time, day and meeting place to caravan as a GROUP for this weekend. Some will drive down on FRI, some will drive down on SAT. Each member is therefore on their own accord to get to the event. Please drive safe.. I myself will be leaving on FRI (time, not sure
) We shall see you all on FRI night if your going to the track for midnight maddness, or on Sat for the offical event. Thank you. We do appoligize if members were counting on caravaning as a group.
This does not mean that you cant buddie up with other members and drive down(hell please do), it only means that an offical caravan will not occur due to said circumstances.

My 2 cents' regarding the 2 dining venues mentioned
This past weekend, I made a little time to swing by the two possibilities mentioned for dinner (Dave & Buster and Bru's) and, frankly, I have misgivings about both.
For one thing, parking is a nightmare for both, and hopes of parking together virtually nil. Worse, most of the parking at Bru's is mostly on an unpaved, very bumpy lot, something which those of us riding on lowered suspensions wanting to keep their cars clean will surely love (NOT).
Bru's also has two more cons: a super-high noise level, TVs and music blaring so that it's tough to hold a conversation; and the particular location suggested is way west near the Broward/Palm Beach County line. This is OK if you live in the area and plan to go without showering & changing after the Moroso Event, but a helluva trek for those who plan to go to Moroso, drive back to Miami-Dade to shower & change and then go back North for such a distance.
As to Dave & Buster's, the area they reserve/rent out for large parties is already booked for this Saturday, plus there's some boxing on their large-screen TVs that will draw a bigger crowd.
A couple of people have suggested Daisy Duke's Saloon/Bar & Grill, a sort of Dukes of Hazzard/Hooters mashup of a restaurant. I've never been there, but I do know that the parking is far better than at the aforementioned alternatives. Here's the link:

Frankly, though, given the broad range of time slots people will be driving and the spread-out nature of the tri-county area, one massive, central dinner meet is going to be tricky to put together, especially on such short notice, in my opinion.
Thoughts & comments?

I am sure most here are aware of the IS-F drive at W. Palm Beach Jan 19th. My freaking bags are packed. 
I'm recruiting girls already
Okay gang here is the FINAL plan. It is not perfect but I think we can make the most of it.
1. Friday night
Thread here:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=325665
Edited. We will meet at the gas station next to Moroso Motorsports park http://www.morosomotorsportspark.com/
at 7pm and leave and drive through the gates together at 7:30 sharp. This allows people to fill up who needs it and for us to have a nice Lexus caravan inside.
Once inside, we will PARK first in an area for all our cars to be together. From there you can run your car ALL YOU WANT until 1am!!!!
If you come after 7:30, look for the Lexus vehicles parked together. Not sure how long we will stay, it depends on the crowd there, and wrecks etc. Probably for a good while once weather holds up.
Moroso is having Midnight Madness this night, gates are open from 6pm-1am. Lets get together and run for fun. Turbo'd, Supercharged, Nitros, NA, it doesn't matter, you don't even have to run your car if you don't want to. I was thinking we just make it a little Mini meet and heck throw some of the cars down the track for shiits and giggles? By the way you don't have to bring your Lexus, I'm gonna try to get my brother to either bring out his 8sec Mustang or the at least his 10sec Mustang.
Directions
From the South take I-95 (exit 79B) or FL Turnpike (exit 109) to PGA Blvd. Go west to SR 710 and turn right, go 8.2 miles.
From the North take I-95 (exit 87B) or FL Turnpike (exit 116) to Indiantown Rd (SR706) go west to SR710 turn left, go 3 miles.
From the Naples/Ft. Myers area take I-75 south to the Turnpike, take the Turnpike north to Exit 109 (PGA Blvd). Take PGA Blvd. West until it dead-ends (SR 710/Beeline Hwy), take a right and continue for 8 miles.

This plan is not perfect but I think it helps us become slightly better organized and we can now have some fun together. I appreciate all the suggestions and "eyes" down there in Florida!!
I figure the Miami folks drive up for the event, so we can drive down for Dinner and bring the Orlando and N. Gang with us . It gives us AMPLE opportunities for photos and vids not just still, but on the move on the interstate/highway. Plus looking at pics, it should be fun with the girls!!!!
