The Tampa Bay Rotary Owners Club (TBROC) would like to gather input from all Florida rotary groups and owners on creating a well thought out and executed annual rotary meet/Dyno day in the Tampa Bay Area. We are currently looking into Dyno facilities that will be capable of housing a large number of cars, provide adequate facilities, and have available food and lodging nearby. We would like to model this meet after Rotor Fest. We are planning to have a best in Show, dyno competitions for 12a n/a and 12a boosted (turbo, supercharger or spray) and 13b n/a and 13b boosted (turbo, supercharger or spray). A 20b category will be added in the event there are enough 20bs attending. We would like to hold this meet in the Fall in order to provide a slightly better climate for our cars as well as giving everyone enough time to prepare for the trip. We will begin sitting down with local shops on FRIDAY MAY 20th to discuss this idea and would like to have input from you, the participants, and what would make this meet enjoyable and worthwhile for you and your families.



TBROC is also considering the opportunity for various Sponsorship of this event as well as space for vendors.

We are looking at the end of July or August time frame. We are also looking into holding this meet on the same day that Street Heat is run. Street Heat is a local venue held at an 1/8th mile drag strip, from 10pm to 2am saturday evenings. There are usually anywhere from 100-200 cars in attendance, and its 10 dollars to run or watch. Heads up racing, run anyone you want. It will be a good time.

Sounds like you guys will have a good time!



I'm in FL, but don't have a car worth bringing to a meet, and I think my days of travelling to go to car meets are over anyway (I never bother going to my local meet anymore).
