Mark your calendars for SATURDAY NOVEMBER 12th !!!!!!!!!!

Central Florida fieros is hosting the " CENTRAL FLORIDA FIEROS FALL HAUL " .

Tired of the long wait for Daytona ? Well this is your answer for that fall fiero fix !

This year's 2nd annual event will be held at Big Daddy Don Garlit's Museum of Drag Racing Inc, in Ocala, Florida.

http://www.garlits.com/index.html

Garlits of course a legend in the racing world.

Last year's inaugural event, called Fantasy of Flight, experienced a good turnout, but we would like to triple that this year !!

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20050410-1-047152.html

The event has been renamed this year to reflect a more user friendly annual title as the location shifts.
THIS IS A CRUISE AND NOT A JUDGED SHOW ! All fieros are welcome !

Costs for the tour will be

Adults $10
Seniors $8

There will be a Dinner following the tour at the nearby Sonny's BBQ for everybody to get together and continue talking fieros.

Hotel arrangements will be announced soon for those needing an overnite stay.

Check the CFF website for updated information on this upcoming event.

I'm really looking foward to this. I've never been to the Don Garlits car museum. Its gonna be a great time.

I think I can safely say some of us North Florida folks will be there. Ocala isn't that far from Jax.

I'll be there if I can get a Fiero running by then......
Sounds like fun!

(A little more history thanks to some archived articles from fiero focus and N.I.F.E)

Rich Warber the guy who designed and built the first fiero chop top, the Purple Pavement Eater, was a longtime racing competitor of Don Garlits !

Sounds like a good reason to go to Florida, might have to think about that one, one question though, would my AARP card qualify me for that senior discount? Two bucks might make all the difference, that's a little over half a gallon of fuel.

My imagination is the only limiting factor to my Fiero. Ooops forgot about the money issue.

We should make it with our 87gt and our 85bumperpad 4.9

Just a heads up,... you guys in Georgia and other surrounding states are welcome to come on down also.

Hey Tony and Central Florida Guys. I wish I could make it this year to your fall event. Know you guys will put together a great event that hopefully will become one of the top Fiero events to go to in the fall. I know people up north like me would love an event that makes having a Fiero a year round experience. If you guys need anything just let me know. I am still very involved with Central Florida Fieros even if I am up in Chicago. Talk to you later.

Central Florida Fieros is proud to announce that the Fiero Store is now also an official sponsor of the Central Florida Fieros Fall Haul.

The Fiero Store now joining the Fiero Warehouse in providing prizes for the event. A big thanks Going out to both vendors for their support of the fiero community.

They definatly deserve our support and business !!

The Central Florida Fieros Fall Haul Officially has yet another Sponsor !!

" MR. MIKE " donating a 50% off certificate for a set of his seats to be given away during the event's prize drawing. If getting a chance to see dozens of gorgeous fieros, and tour two fantastic museums is not enough, then this certianly should be extra motivation to come on out !!

You " HAVE TO " show up to get your name in the prize box and " BE PRESENT " to claim your prize.

A big thanks going out to Mr. Mike for his generous contribution and our other sponsors The FIero Warehouse and the Fiero Store as well !!!

I'm in and I might have a few of my car buddies go there with me.

I might not make this run after all...the notchie has the ole coolant in the oil....shes parked. The GT is getting a new engine but I doubt it will be in the car in time for the event.

That sucks Craig!!!! That notchie was running so well and its been looking so nice. Sure gonna miss you.

Yeah, I'm hoping its just a headgasket...but I wont know till I tear it down. So...I managed to talk the wife into letting me get the GT engine rebuilt. It was done on Friday but I havent picked it up yet...hurricane and all...but hope to have it in the garage by the end of the week. Then I get to start bolting on the parts. I'd like to have it on the road in a couple weeks...then I get to focus on the GT restoration. Lots of powder coating going on this one...so I have to wait and see how long it will take Joe to get it done.
