You forgot the one in Melbourne in October

Regardless, even in the Northern Fla areas, you still will need to drive more 
than 200 miles to attend more than a couple contests. Pensacola area is 
closer to 75% of the D3 contests, but your average drive will still be 6 
hours, give or take. 
To belabor the obvious a little, the Southeast is not like the Northeast 
where in 4 hours you could traverse 5 states.

I told you about the Ocala and Jax contests last year, via direct email, and 
you did not make either. I am again inviting you to attend Ocala in late 
February, Jacksonville in September, and Melbourne in October. Also, you will 
have a new contest in Lakeland this coming season, third weekend in May.
