2013 FL Old Town Lightning Meet



DATE IS SET FOR FEBRUARY 9, 2013 !!!

Specialty Car Shows | Old Town

Time is from 9am to 5pm

Let's get 60 trucks out there this year guys!!!!

Add yourself to the official facebook event too! - https://www.facebook.com/events/109563629213399/







Getting to OT:

OT's Address is:
5770 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy,
Kissimmee FL, 34746

Easily Accessible from either I-4 or the FL Turnpike. It's also less than half an hour from Orlando Int'l (MCO) if anyone wants to fly in



However, to make it easy for everyone to find, here's where the meet is within OT itself. Our space is the parking lot all the way at the end of the Old Town Complex, at the intersection of Skylark Drive and Holiday Trail.



You can get exact directions to that point here - Holiday Trail - Google Maps on google maps.

Here's the aerial view of the lot we have. I expect it to be full of lightnings that day!!



Where to stay:

Orlando has a near infinite amount of lodging options. If you're making a trip of it and taking the family to Disney or Universal, you may choose to stay somewhere else.

For those of us who are there just for the OT shenanigans, there's a few places right nearby which we have used in the past and most people enjoyed.

Barefoot'n in the Keys (several of us are reserved here already)
2754 Florida Plaza
Kissimmee, FL 34746
Toll-Free: 1.800.634.3119
Local: 407.856.7190
www.barefootn.com

Seralago Hotel
5678 West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway
Kissimmee, FL 34746
Toll-Free: (800) 366-5437
Local: (407) 396-4488
Kissimmee Hotel: Seralago Hotel & Suites, an Affordable Family Hotel near Disney

Tropical Palms Resort & Campground
2650 Holiday Tr., Kissimmee, FL 34746
Toll-Free: (800) 647-2567
Local: (407) 396-4595
Resort - Campgrounds | Tropical Palms

What to bring and expect:

Bring your truck, bring your friends, your dog, your family, and get ready to meet everyone and enjoy the day in the sun checking out everyone's rides! :bigtu

I recommend wearing some sunscreen, depending on the weather that day, bring a couple folding chairs, plenty of water, and plenty of recreational beverages! We aren't allowed to cook out at Old Town, but we encourage everyone to try some food from the amusement park, and feel free to bring snacks and drinks to share if you are so inclined!

Official Attendance Threads are here:

On LR: Old Town 2013 Attendance Thread - Lightning Forum | LightningRodder.com

On LG: OFFICIAL- OLD TOWN 2013 Attendance and Refreshments thread!

After the meet (approximately 4-5pm) we will be going GO-KARTING!

Last year, many of us went to Orlando Grand Prix afterwards, it was a blast. If enough people commit, we can have a seperate room and private race between only us reserved!

Orlando Grand Prix / Orlando Indoor Go Kart Racing
9550 Parksouth Court
Orlando, FL 32837
(407) 434-7500
