    Florida - what to see

    Hi

    I am going on vacation in Florida from d. 18.2.2011 to 7.3.2011, Can any you recommend some classic cars events or dealer, I can visit in that period.

    I have bought tickets to the Daytona 500, I've never seen a NASCAR race before, so I am very excited

    I would highly recommend checking out Gunnar Racing. They do some awesome work and typically have some sweet cars sitting around.

    http://www.gunnarracing.com/

    Send them an email, to touch base and let them know you are coming. A couple years ago I was told it is best to try and visit on a saturday when someone will have more time to show you around.

    We at Gunnar do welcome visits on Saturdays but you must e-us to know we are in town and-or....... I'm not painting something... (can't give the 5 cent tour if I'm in the spray booth)

    Kulbsport is also worth a visit if in town.
