Dave Hardy writes, in part:
"If those of us outside of Florida can let some of Florida's
representatives / tourism boards know that eliminating autocross would
eliminate trips to Florida, then that might have [snip] impact [snip]"
And he asks:
"Can someone re-post both the House and Senate Bill Numbers?"
Dave:
You have a point there, sir, plus we have all seen states copy each other's
statutes in the past. If Florida passes "tough new anti-street racing
legislation" and makes the news, somebody else will copy-cat 'em. Could be
YOUR state.
So, send a message to Tallahassee! Voice your opinion!
The House bill is #1225, the Senate version is # 1738.
I'll even toss in a few email addresses for y'all. These are folks I've

By the way, James Rogerson is right. If you talk to an aide, that's a big
step in the right direction. Be nice to them, be professional, make your
points politely. They aren't just flunkies, they are the eyes and ears of
the legislators when the legislators aren't around.
I appreciate any support the Team.Net group can give. Thanks!
Peace, Love & Pushrods-
