Not st pete that I know of but Orlando has a club called ROCK and you could theoretically make it to a NEFAR launch in Bunnell. Quite a haul, but doable if you have to. And you do, NEFAR launches are great!

And since we're all giving you long distance driving suggestions,
I'll toss in FLASH down in Fort Myers.

There's a good bunch of die-hard rocketeers in each of
the Florida clubs- you'll see many of them at the various
flying locations across the state. You can't go wrong
visiting any of the clubs.
