Re: 40th NCRS Winter Regionl

find the address in last line of post 27 above. I think that Medulla address will get you in spitting distance of the main gate as well.

Don/Mike, The Gate is 4175 Medula. Best to GPS that one.
4526 Sun N Fun Rd is deep into the Facility.....GMap

It may also show as Old Medula Rd or South Medula Rd on your GM Nav. Google Maps has also confused it for the last several years.

4175 Medula Rd. Lakeland, FL 33811 GMap

Once you go past the Gate into the Sun N Fun Facility it becomes Dolittle Rd. There will be signs and people at the Gate area to get you in. Once past the Gate the Registration Area will be on your right just past the Fedex plane.

Thanks Richard! Very helpful, some day maybe I will replace this old Corvette with a new one with a modern nav system.......

Re: 40th NCRS Winter Regionl

Is there a physical street address? My Corvette's antiquated nav (it's a '12) doesn't have places, just addresses.

Im showing 4175 Medulla Rd, Lakeland, FL 33811, is that correct you think?

Michael...why would you be using that antiquated nav when there are many apps like WAZE on your phone that work much better!

Now Vinnie, you know we mustn't use our cell phones while driving, and I have not found a way to have that run through my onboard systems and give me big screen prompts, my wife is usually the one using that and giving me directions but she will not be along this time. I think it is a much better long term solution to just bite the bullet soon and buy a new ZR1, what do you think?

Tyler,

Since the board has determined Fun'n'Sun is no longer an acceptable site for future FL regional meets, can someone provide a list of the shortcomings? Obviously a new venue will need to address these issues.

Thanx

Is there any space at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport?

Re: 40th NCRS FLA Winter Regional

It takes 2 days and at least 10 volunteers to lay out the swap meet. I get it done with mostly non NCRS people in other car clubs I am in who live local so if they want a swap meet somewhere else they are going to have to find somebody to do it. As those who come know we have street rod show on Saturday to help with the expenses. The days of depending on the swap meet venders for revenue are gone, an NCRS event alone will not draw enough revenue for the to come venders back. So a move somewhere else will probably eliminate the swap meet.

Re: 40th NCRS FLA Winter Regional

Coach has arranged for a special addition to the Winter Regional. We will be having Tech Sessions on Corvette Ignition systems with a demonstration of the Sun Distributor Machine presented by Wayne Pendley. Wayne will be holding 2 sessions. The first on Thursday at 1:00 PM and the second on Friday at 4:00 PM in Hanger "C". This is not part of the Advanced Judging School. No points can be awarded for these sessions but they will be very educational and should be a beneficial opportunity to observe and learn from an expert.

Regenial Question.

Has any NCRS Regional been going on for longer then 40 years?
Thanks.

Re: Regenial Question.

You mean constantly, every year, without a break?

Re: 40th NCRS FLA Winter Regional

Here is a part of a post I made on Facebook last night.
Check it out, I did not post the whole thing since the "moderators" might not like it...

They don't like the venue.
Indoor judging, indoor swap meet, large outdoor swap meet, plenty of parking, reasonable priced local nice hotels, lots of great restaurants, a central location, warm weather and lots of great corvettes and Corvette people.
I have been traveling there from Ohio for many years.

Re: 40th NCRS FLA Winter Regional

I'm not questioning the boards logic, if attendance is down since moving to Lakeland, then the numbers speak for themselves. I do see some downsides compared to central Kissimmee but we won't find a "perfect" site near the amusement parks and Mecum auction during the FL tourist season. I would simply like to know the criteria when searching for an acceptable new location and/or date.

If we drop the swap meet is Old Town back in play?
