Tampa Bay Roadsters October 24th Run

G8TR · 10-15-2009, 08:24 AM

I know that this is short notice once again, however our friend and member Mark Lynn will be home from Iraq and is looking forward to a run with the group.
I have set up a run starting at the Citrus Park Mall at 10am. We will go north and ride the roads for a little while and then return for a get together at Smokey Bones restaurant. Please let me know if you can make it.
Meeting place will be by the Dillards, close to Sheldon Road. Citrus Park Mall is just off the Veteran's Expressway, 2 miles west of Dale Mabry Highway and about 4 miles north of Tampa Airport.

Went and ran this today to make sure that everything was open (don't always trust maps). Run was nice mix through open country, twisties and highway driving. Took just over 1 1/2 hours without stopping, of course there will be one. Look forward to seeing everyone there.

Well I have to say...What a day...it was my first run...and I cant wait to do it again!!! Not only was the driving cool...hearing the different exhaust sounds...the hard accelerations...alil squealing of the tires here and there...watching and feeling the cars going through some tight corners...seeing the reactions of other drivers as a line of kappa's cruise on past...seeing the admiration on their faces at the sheer "Coolness" of owning and driving such a HOT car...not to mention seeing the different mods each person has done to their Kappa's...but the people of TBR are the coolest!! I have made some new friends and look forward to getting to know them all better and have more fun out and about with the group!! Anyone thats in an area that doesnt have a Kappa car enthusiast group, really ought to start one...I highly recommend it!!! Thanks for a great day to everyone in the TBR group!!!

Had 8 cars today for a 2 hour run and then some lunch at Smokey Bones BBQ. A good time was had by all, at least that was what I was told.

Great to see MarkLynn, home from the sand pit for a few days. Stood and talked to him for half an hour after everyone else left.
Had 2 new Kappas show up, both red Solstices, Thanks for coming, Tino, Gary and his +1 Judy! We look forward to seeing you on future runs.

Thanks to all the others that showed also. We really like having a crowd.

Missed this one. But will have to watch for others.
I have been taking the Coupe out to the Local BMW CCA auto X events. Giving the car a good run.

Let me know when the next event will be.

Thanks

We'd love to have a coupe with us. We're planning a run for November, haven't decided on a date yet. Drop me a pm with your email.
