1/4/2012 Cuba Lake Raceway South 6th annual Florida luncheon, February 22nd, 2012
at Brandon, FL (just east of Tampa)
This year we have decided to move the date up to coincide with Daytona speed weeks at
the request of many 50s and 60s racing folks that come to Florida then and have wanted
to attend the CLR south event in the past. This Wed. date allows a quick trip over on I-4
for 11-3 or so and then back to the Daytona area for Volusia County races in the evening.
Cuba Lake Raceway south, Florida luncheon for all stock car, midget and sprint drivers,
mechanics, car owners, track personnel and fans that were involved in and enjoyed racing
in WNY, Ontario and NWPA during the 40s, 5Os and 60s and their companion(s). A special
invite is also open to any 40s, 50s and 60s racing drivers and fans from around the
Country or Province that will be on vacation or are full time or part time residents here in
Florida too. Any guests that would enjoy our event are also welcome to attend with you.
Note: CLR north luncheon/reunion our 10th anniversary annual, the big one(200 plus),
will be at Moonwinks in Cuba, NY again this year on July 25th 2012.
When: February 22nd, 2012 (wed)
Where: Golden Corral restaurant, Brandon FL, exit 257 off I-75 at sr 60. Go east on sr 60
after exiting I-75 from the north or south about 1/2 mile and make right turn(south) on S.
Lakewood. It is well marked with overhead sign at light. Go south on Lakewood for three
lights then watch for Golden Corral on left between Applebees and Carrabbas. Actual
address is 815 Providence Rd. Plenty of parking room. Best to follow these instructions as
new roads in area will mess up GPS devices.
Time: Registration starts at 11:00 am with lunch starting about noon or whenever
everyone is registered and seated for the great buffet luncheon in our private room.
Golden Corral restaurants are noted for their great buffets, if you haven't been at one, I
guarantee no one will leave hungry. Luncheon will be "Dutch treat" for all attending and a
RSVP is required along with a payment of $11.00 for each person attending (covers
everything, food, drink, tax and tip). I must receive your RSVP and payment by February
13th 2012 at the latest as no day of luncheon payments will be allowed. When you arrive
at restaurant go through the line and tell cashier you are with the Cuba Lake Raceway
group(don't pay any money) and you will be directed to the left and will see our room on
the far end to the rear. We have our own waitress for the day and she or he will fix you up
with a soda(pop for us northeners) or a coffee as soon as you arrive. We will all hit the
chow lines about noon after everyone has arrived.
Program: This year I have arranged for an extreamly interesting speaker that worked in
engineering at the GM proving grounds in Detroit in 1968. His work was in the auto
safety division and some of the stories he shared with me recently had me on the edge of
my seat. Many of the stories you will hear tie directly to racing at the time and from
previous years. Our speaker will entertain questions after his very educational talk that I
know everyone in attendance will enjoy. The luncheon will end about 3pm so everyone
can return home during daylight hours or get to the east coast for races at Volusia in the
evening or just south of our event the 360 sprints are running at East Bay Raceway Park
that evening too.(www.eastbayracewaypark.com )
This e-mail is an invitation via your computer or a copy in the usps mail. The banquet
room we will be using can only handle 50 people. I suggest you send your names and
money as soon as you get this notice as this annual event is gaining in popularity and
very well may sell out again this year. Last year we did max. out and I had to turn 10 folks
down that sent their RSVP in late. Dress code is casual.
RSVP: Send payment, $11.00 per person, along with your name and each companion(s)
name to: Ford Easton, 5200 28th St. N. # 651, St. Petersburg, FL 33714. Make check or
M.O. payable to: Ford Easton. If you wish to contact me phone is 727-522-4042 and e-mail
is fjeaston@aol.com. Tickets will not be sent to you as your name and those attending with
you must be on the master list at registration to gain entry to the luncheon in our private
room at the restaurant. The $11.00 per person includes the great buffet, coffee, hot tea,
iced tea and pop, free refills, tax and gratuity. Remember deadline for me to receive your
RSVP and payment in the mail is February 13th 2012.
I look forward to seeing all the drivers from CLR now living or visiting in Florida along with
other drivers from the North East that drove in the 40s, 50s and 60s and your
companions. I also look forward to seeing all the great fans from these years too. Going to
be a great day of friendship among old and new friends from our racing world and a great
speaker/program to top the day off.
