Gatornationals...

fuzzy dice · 01-31-2007, 09:12 AM

Three of us go to the Gatornationals every year...we're all vette guys and we are going this year on Friday, March 16...we had reserved seats in the past but this year they have changed things a bit...from the 1/8 mile to the traps, the pit side seating is all general admission...less expensive and sit wherever you care to...

I propose a meet and greet at the Gators for any and all who attend...I'm thinking 12 Noon in front of Greg Anderson's pit area...we can then hang out together or even sit together in the stands for anyone who'd like to...

Y'all can set up a meeting point for a caravan but I will be meeting up with my buddies and going up the back way in one guys truck...

Since the door-slammers will be makeing their initial runs at noon, I'd suggest meeting-up sooner in the morning (maybe 10:30 AM, giving yourselves plenty of time to peruse the pits ), or after the 1st Session is complete, probably about 1:30 Pm, before the 2nd session.

BERNADETTE is off that Saturday & Sunday, and she is 'trying' to swap her schedule so we can meet-up on Friday instead:
having never been to Gainesville Raceway, can anybody provide a physical address of the track, so I can MapQuest it?

Thanks-in-advance!!!!!

After struggling the last 2 weeks, first at Vegas, and at Phoenix this past-weekend, Kenny Bernstein finally got his F/C license up-dated for next weeks Winternationals @ Pomona:
his new MONSTER -backed Dodge had been 'going-bowling' (knocking-over the center-cones ) on almost every run, but today, he made the runs needed to compete in the season-opener.

10 Fuel car teams are back in Vegas this weekend for the 'Last-Chance' test-sessions, including all 4 Kalitta Flying Service cars, and several other P/S and Alcohol cars.

Nah...that is for if I hit the lottery. I will buy the suite and we can all be big-shots. Unless that happens, I will be in the cheap seats also.
