Default Orlando guys...

I just saw that SpeedWorld is doing their street legal midnight drags tonight. The web page says "drive 'em in," no trailers...

Is there anywhere outside to park/unload my trailer if I decide to come down that way?

George,

There arent any places to park the trailer really close to the track. There are a few places down the road a bit you could prolly park it and let it sit for awhile. A couple all night grocery stores and that sort of thing. Let me know if you're planning on coming down. I doubt you will want to make the trip though they do not give out time slips for the midnight drags it's strictly a "street racing" event so all it's really good for is making some money if you line up a race with someone.

Oh, I didn't realize it was a no-timeslip thing... I was considering coming down to try and do some tweaking on the combination, but not getting a timeslip wouldn't help much I guess <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Thanks for the info...

That event is worth going to maybe once. You get like 3 runs and it is mostly 15+ second rice junk that think they are super fast. Now I only went once, without my car, but this was the case. Is it any different usually, or did I just go on a bad night?

No, it's pretty much crap. Lots of gay slow ricemobiles, and crack dealers with gold teeth betting thousands of dollars on crapped out primered Chevelles.
