Several LS powered trucks are going to make this event. Thought I'd invite you north Florida folk up for some fun. You know you love to pick on imports...

Hard to believe no Jax folk will drive 123 miles (2 hour trip) for an all day test n tune and a chance to beat up on some imports, meet some fellow GM fans, and have a good time. The track is open 2 till 11pm for this event!! Many of us are staying at the comfort inn suites right next door to hooters after the long day.

I would love to come up there have not been since PonyWars, but I need to buy some new track tires. I also am having to DD mine so I am alot more careful with it now.

Great track and facility. I will be making a ride up there as soon as I work out those two issues.

I can attest to the tow bill. Snapped my driveshaft at pony wars and rented a dolly to get her back to Ocala.
