Wow cool! My wife and I were just there 3 weeks ago for a weeks vacation. We loved it there so much we are thinking of moving to a neighboring town- Palatka. Nice you can drive your 4 X 4 on the beach. We fished off of the beach a little south of St Augustine and had a blast- caught so many whiting- and they were great eating!

What a great event. I was there in May and it was my first beach drive with my bronco. I really need to keep up with events Close to me.

I also live in St Aug and had no idea. How do I keep up with these events?

I don't live on that side of the state now but I've spent most of my life in North Florida. I could have driven over for something like that!

Sadly, most of the organization/promotion happens on FB. A number of groups in Florida participated, but it is organized by FL6G Bronco group. There is the 904JaxBroncos and OldCityBroncos that are the closest groups.

There was a number of sponsors including Bozard who really opened the purse strings in donating large ticket items to be raffled off. If the event was promoted here and other channels beyond FB, they easily could have added a couple grand to the fund raising effort.

A large percentage of attendees are from the west coast. FL6G is based over in Cape Coral.

Heck I drove from Clearwater, into Daytona and took the beautiful ocean drive north on A1A into Butler Beach. Amazingly I didn’t see another Bronco on the 4 hour drive until I got into town. Stayed downtown in St. Augustine. I think the 203 Broncos took up about 1/3 mile of beach- not sure where everyone is gonna park next year when volume doubles. But there were some downsides of course- way too many girls in bikinis, too much food, and not enough sunscreen. See you all next year. Agree with comments above, watch FL bronco 6g on FB. Kudos to Mervin T and his team for organizing it.

FYI, the second largest Florida Bronco event is Broncos for Boobies. It is being held on October 11th in Clearwater at Orange County Chopper. One of the longstanding sponsors of that event is General Tire. You have the chance at getting your own set of X3's.
