EMs, Members, Enthusiasts and Friends,

Spring is in the air and all over our cars in the form of microscopic yellow dust . But with Spring also comes new life, cool breezes and an April edition of Cars and Café so life is good. In the spirit of the season, The Orlando Automotive Club would like to extend a special invitation to all those fans and patrons with a taste for powerful, earth shaking American Muscle coffee blend. Please also note that a few select American Muscle car owners will have the opportunity to stage their masterpiece in the Route 46 Entertainment District’s coveted courtyard so come out in force and come early to increase your chance to gain a spot on center stage!

Community Service
By now, the word about the Orlando Automotive Club’s commitment to charity is spreading but just to emphasize the point, we would like to remind everyone that :
• Recurring canned food drives & special initiatives meant to shed light on worthy causes like the natural disasters and help for needy children are a staple of the club and our Cars and Café meet. We are officially partnered with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orlando and the majority of our collected cans contribute to the great work they do in our community.


Please remember that this month’s meet is on April 24th at The Route 46 Entertainment District. We look forward to seeing each of you at what promises to be an awesome automotive meet.

 

Ricky we're bring a group from So. Florida up Friday night for Saturday's meet. We'll be staying at the Hyatt Place which apparently 3 miles away from the meet site.
Looking forward to the motorsport fun and comrodery.
We plan to leave that night because Sunday is an exotic event at Dade-Collier (2 mile) airstrip in Miami. Underground Racing, Heffner and Performance Racing will bring their beasts to run the mile.
Last March Performance's Ford GT ran 253 mph standing mile.
Maybe you guys want to come down?

See you soon,
Juan
