Lashway Motorsports location in Orlando? Perhaps...
We've been talking to a lot of members on here and we keep hearing the same thing: WE NEED A SHOP IN ORLANDO!
I have also heard this from other enthusiasts on other forums we sponsor. I want to gauge the market up there. We would like input from Orlando/Tampa/Daytona (and surrounding areas) members as to what current options are and what it is that you're all looking for. May be worth it for us to open a satellite shop to serve the LSx market up there. Thanks in advance for any info! Erik@Lashway |

Yessss! Definitely come to Orlando.
Offer tuning, custom exhaust work, and a dyno....plus the basics (spring/coil installs, bolt ons, etc.)

For one Orlando is Centrally located, and is in need of LSX Shop a more so than the other areas. There is only one shop in the area. More of a one man show with partime help. This area is wide open. This truly should not even be a choice to make. In hope that you may make this decission before the 1st Shunshine State Rally in March. If not take the time to look around when you come up for the Rally.

We have Phil and Jeremy but, the closest "shop" for installs and big stuff for the LSX is either Antivenom in Seffner or RX in Bradenton. Both of those are 50-60 miles from my area just over the Pinellas line.

..or how about my buddies between Orlando/Daytona. There is a decent market in Daytona. Not as big as Orlando.. It is the same principle reason the damn Rays should have been dropped in the middle of the state from the beginning.

Wow great info...
Logistically it is difficult. It would be a small place, but the same Lashway quality and expertise many have come to expect from us. We're South Florida's most experienced and capable shop - bar none, especially when it comes to LS performance and tuning. It;s our bread and butter. We'd have to put a dyno in and a lift or two, and at first would start small working towards a full service shop. Definitely interesting. Erik@Lashway |

There's a couple acres for sale down the street from where I live. You've got a drag strip about 2 miles down for testing cars. A Mcdonalds, Taco Bell, Publix, and Burger King for all your food needs across the street. As well as Autozone & Advance Discount and a bunch of junk yards for parts. I think it'd be the perfect location for you guys

Orlando is your best bet 1 hour from Tampa, Daytona, Gainesville/Ocala, Cocoa, and 2 hours from Jax area.
