scannon Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'm still contemplating trailering the Seven to Orlando but cost of gas and hotels is a bit prohibitive. Is anyone interested in sharing a room at the event hotel, assuming there are rooms left at the $125 rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klasik-69 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I just googled LOG32 to find out what, where & when. I would have liked to go but I'm racing at the Talladega GP TT event that weekend. Bummer! I live only 55 miles from this event, missing out on the opportunity to see a bunch of 7's. that's a long drive for you coming from Colorado for a 2 day event.

scannon Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Its more like 3 1/2 days if you include the track day at Sebring on Monday. It is a long drive but I planned on doing some of the Orlando attractions while there. I've been to two LOGs and had a great time at both of them. One of our Lotus club members is driving his Elan out for the event taking 8 days on the back roads to get there. If I go I will trailer the Seven and take two days to get there via the interstates.

Klasik-69 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Sebring is a great track but rough on cars. Full track is 3.7 miles, club track just over 2 miles. I've done hundreds of miles on it with a C6Z06 & Spec Miata, bought many tires & dozens of brake pads. That track will wear out a set of pads in two days. Bring some painters tape to protect rear wings & other prone areas. Orlando attractions are expensive with prices above $90/pp + parking, won't mention food prices. Universal Studios & Sea World are worthwhile, Disney more for kids with rich parents. Enjoy your stay. I wish I could have met you. You've helped me in the past with wheel spacers/adapters so I could my Miata wheels on the 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks for the info. I'm still on the fence but $1,400 just for the fuel to get the truck, trailer and Seven to Orlando and home is hard to justify. I could fly out for far less but then I wouldn't have my car there and that is half of the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanG Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The event hotel has a shuttle to Sea World so we hope to see that. Sebring should be fun. I enjoy running around on different tracks just for the experience. At various LOG I've been able to drive around a few that provided great experiences: Gateway - oh so thats why there are tire marks on the wall, Talladega - Sure is steep. I wish the Seven would go fast enough to stick to the banking. Indy - Wow history was made here, Blackhawk farms - Then you turn hard at the tree... I'm signed up for the auto-x and expect to be the slowest Lotus/Se7en out there. It will be great to see some of our old friends there. I hope to meet a bunch of folks from this forum.
