    If you are on the West Coast to go to Garlits the Muscle Car Museum in Punta Gorda is relatively close (about 200 miles, but all Interstate 75 traveling) It is very impressive, especially if you like 50's-60's muscle cars, Rick has one of almost every one made and mostly 4 speed tripower cars.

    Jan 31 is the River Ranch Run near Lake Wales. What time of day will you be in Cocoa Beach? I leave from Melbourne in the early AM. Maybe we can travel together.
    There are car events all winter in FL. "Cruise nights" almost every day of the week. Sunshine State Rodding News lists shows and cruise nights. I can scan and email you several pages covering your time here.
