Daytona Beach Florida Fiero Weekend 2018 [March 29th thru April 1st] (Page 1/11)
JohnWPB OCT 06, 11:12 PM
Daytona Beach March 22nd ~ 25th 2018

The website is up, but not completed yet. Check back over the next couple of weeks for updates.

You can register for the show at this link.

PLEASE let us know what you plan on attending, so we can make accurate reservations, and adjust them accordingly based on attendance. You can DO THAT HERE. Please take a minute to fill out this form to help us plan reservations and attendance for dinners, the boat cruise ect. It is important to have rough numbers that plan on attending.


I have Received 2 Direct PayPal Registrations for the show thus far: (Now that the form is set up, all registrations will show up on the page automatically)
Jennifer H. $25
Nelson T. $25

I have received 2 Registrations in the form of a check:
Jack C, NC
Benn S, FL

There will be a $25 fee per car this year. I spoke with Frank Martin, and when he did the show, there was also a separate fee to help cover the show costs. Some years, he combined the 2 fees (The speedway fee, and the Show fee together). We do not want to get involved with trying to keep track of the Turkey Rod Registrations, so we are doing our $25 show fee separately. I will keep a penny by penny break down of all costs and expenditures that I will post on the website (Still under construction). Any money left over, as every past year of the show, will be donated to a chosen charity. I will have a page set up soon where you can pay the $25 fee. I will also provide an address to send checks or money orders if you can not, or prefer not to do it online.
You will also have to pay the entry fee into the Daytona Speedway on the Daytona Turkey Rod site. That is separate from the money we are collecting to cover the cost of doing the show. Read more about that in this post

The $25 fee will cover:
  • Entry into the judging for your Fiero (and cover the cost of the trophies)
  • Help defer the cost of the track side lunch on Saturday in the Fiero area (You will receive 2 tickets that you will need for the buffet)
  • Dash Plaques
  • Cover the cost of the trophies
  • one entry into the door prize give away


--> Those that have not paid the $25 fee, will be politely asked to park their cars in a separate area, in the Fiero area of course. This makes it much simpler on the judges to evaluate the cars, by having all of those being judged all parked together.

Reserve Your Hotel Room at the Best Western NOW! (386) 258-6333 There are only 10 rooms blocked out for our group rate. Just mention Space Coast Fieros for the $71 Thursday, and $79 Fri, Sat rate. (as of 10:30 this morning 11/20/17, 7 of those 10 rooms are available)

Patrick set up a Private Group Page on Facebook for updates, and a place to easily post photos from mobile devices. If you are s member of the large Fiero group on Facebook, you will be able to see it. If not, just join the group. We had to make it a private page, as there is one certain individual who is infatuated with our Daytona show, and interfering as much as possible. If he slips in using one of his 10 Facebook aliases, we can ban them when it is a private group.

We are 4 months out from the show, so the time to start thinking about getting ready is NOW!

2 Years ago the show fell on Easter weekend, and as expected we had a weak turnout. Last year, no one really had planned anything, and more of a "show and shine", but it was still a fun weekend for those that attended.

For the 2018 show, we have 4 to 5 people working on making the show a full weekend jam packed with activities, breakfasts, dinners, cruises, (both by land AND water We have planned a track side buffet, raffles, door prizes, dinner cruise (on a paddle boat) car show with trophies, door prizes, Fiero Swap Meet, and many other things that are being worked on.

This is just the very preliminary post, and MUCH more information will be added to this first post in this thread as times, dates, activities and such are added and finalized. The web page is in the works which will have a full schedule breakdown.

If anyone has any suggestions on activities or events, let us know. If you would like to be in charge of something like the cruise, poker run, a tech session, judging or anything else, let us know! It takes time and effort from a lot of people to put together a show like this.

This is just the VERY early and preliminary information so far.

  • Capital City Fieros has volunteered to handle the Friday Morning Breakfast at the Sugar Mill.
  • We will be setting up the information and reservations for Friday Evenings Dinner Cruise (not a driving cruise, but a cruise on a boat with dinner and drinks )
  • We are making arrangements to have a buffet lunch in the Fiero area on Saturday.
  • Trophies, the raffle, 50/50 and random giveaways will be at 1:30 Saturday.
  • Lunch on Sunday will be at the Cracker Barrel at 12:30 for those sticking around for Sundays lap.

John,

I have three cars in the shop for body work and paint so at least one of them might be available for Daytona next year. It is my intent to make the trip so we will see how things work out. Now I have to see when my youngest son and his wife plan to go to Spain. If they go, my wife and I will likely be babysitting for a week. Plans are not fixed now but if the Spain trip happens it will be late march or early April. Daytona is important but does not compete with grandkids!

Nelson

Okay, I just got off the phone with Frank. The Best Western Host Hotel only gave us a block of 10 rooms to start with this year! So if you want a room definitely book it now. There are 6 rooms left as if 10 minutes ago.
When those rooms run out she is not sure if we can get more. It depends on total hotel occupancy, at which they can charge at their regular rate.

Thursday night is $71 tax
Friday and Saturday are $79 + tax

Things are progressing and I should have more updates soon. We have been contacting sponsors, and getting some of the events organized and locked in with reservations and such. I look forward to seeing everyone again this year!

I created a private fb event page for the show as well, which is linked below. If you are s member of the large Fiero group on Facebook, you will be able to see it. If not, just join the group. I know it's tricky, but I did it that way to keep out an individual who finds my event page every year and spams it with garbage.

I will be helping to plan the event, I hope to make it, and hope you all can too!
