Car related stuff in Florida?

Daytona raceway + beach.

What else? Tried googling and haven't seen anything yet.

Museums?
Other tracks?
Shows (in April)?
Drive-ins?
Large Car Club meets?
etc

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

FL is a big state. On the assumption that you are visiting Orlando/Kissimmee area, there is an organized cruise every weekend in Old Town, Kissimmee.
Weekly bracket drags at Orlando Speed World, at Bithlo FL and short track at New Smyrna and Lakeland.
Rogers Corvette specialists in Maitland is a cool place to see a great selection of classic and modern vettes.
There's a he'll of a lot more going on in Feb and March. You are going to miss all the really good stuff.

Definitely the Saturday (and Friday to some extent) should be spent at Kissimmee in Old Town.

Fun fair is great for the kids too and all the 50's style shops are fabulous.

Harley dealer opposite too.

A&W's burger restaurants, they often do cruisin' nights harking back their 50's roots. probably the best of the larger chains - get an uncle burger and rootbeer,

All interesting suggestions - exactly what I was expecting.
Several new locations now stored in phone.
When people say Kissimmee "Old Town" - is it signposted old town? I don't see it labelled as such on Google maps - can someone give me a landmark or address to use for this?

Thanks again - keep 'em coming!

Intersection of OBT and Vine St. Head South on Main and you'll run right into it.
Alternatively, just follow all the sun-burned, football shirt wearing white-leggers.

While not car, maybe of interest as piston powered, WWII warbird rides at Kissimmmee airport, you can fly in a T-6 Harvard trainer or a B-25 Bomber & I think even a P-51 Mustang.

While your other half is shopping (?) at Millenia Mall, you can visit:

If you're lucky you may see one or two of them being used too.
