I'm flying over next week to watch the World Street Car Finals in Orlando. Where else should I go? Are there any good speed shops in the locality? Where is the nearest Chevy parts dealer? Any recommendations gladly received!

This is strictly a revhead holiday so we will be missing the usual tourist spots. Sniper, can you supply details on the parts stores and the GM dealers. Boring stuff like good oil filters are difficult to get here.

cdowns, we were intending to do the Daytona tour and Don Garlits place, any info on location and local knowledge would be good. We are in town from the 8th to the 14th.

Thanks,

Neil.
