Default Dash N Dine Drag Race, Gainesville, FL 11-8

The company I work for rented the Gainesville Speedway, and we are throwing a little fundraiser. All money raised benefits the Taylor Bean Foundation. http://www.taylorbeanfoundation.com/

We are limiting to 80 cars, it will cost $100 and this will include dinner catered by Ipanima Brazilian Steakhouse.
http://www.ipanemaocala.com/ There will also be an open bar (after the race, of course!) set up.

It should be a lot of fun, and I would like to get some of my LS1 Tech-ers out there! You can get the details from the Taylor Bean link above, and sign up through the website if you are interested.

You can also e-mail Jennifer Chapman with questions or help signing up Jchapman@taylorbean.com

Just to let ya'll know....Ipanema is the ****! It's $100 just to eat there for two people. Sounds like a great deal!

Bump! I'll be heading there with the wife (we love ipanema, lol). Sadly, It won't be in my car due to a tired clutch and hydraulics. But, I'll still have a car. A certain Impala SS, 383 h/c LT1. Just ordered the Drag radials today to be put on by Friday. Also tested out the nitrous system, and we're good to go!

AWESOME! I cant wait to see that thing run Actually, I think you need to challenge my boss in his Ferrari. Im pretty sure you would spank him. This is going to be a lot of fun!! There are quite a few people coming, none from LS1 tech though. weak....

Anyone else who wants to come, you have until Friday to sign up on the website.

Had a great time out there. Some awesome cars and some good runs. The impala was moving and she clicked off two 12.2's at 111mph. Best reaction time of .013. And congrats for Joe for clicking off a 12.8@109mph!

Did any Aston Martin owners leave a bit early? It was before it was dark out, say around 5ish.
Reason I ask is I was over that way and was next to one at a light and it looked very out of place for the area.
In front of it was a truck from the early 1900s...yes it was a weird scene at that stoplight .

Not that I know of. My boss has a light green Astin Martin and it was there all night. What color was the one you saw? They may have been running around before this thing started... It ran a 12.9, and it was the guy who was racing's first time at the drag strip.

The one I was next to was a greyish/silverish so I guess it was just randomly there....weird. On a side note, damn rain tonight killed Test n' Tune!
