In all honesty, not too much to speak of unless you count the college girls in V6 Mustangs.

A lot of rice though. IMV or whatever films has weekly meets down here. However there are a few nice F-bodies and Stangs around campus and town. Gainesville raceway holds weekly Wednesday Test and Tunes during drag racing season. Probably your best bet.

^ what he said.

That imv group has done a good job as of late in separating themselves from the over abundance of rice. Most of them are good guys, and it will take a few meets before they will warm up to ya. But besides that, there really is nothing besides the track.

Yeah. Green cove springs/Fleming Island, Ocala, and Jacksonville have great car scenes. I know from experience. If you're looking for a lot of F-bodies/Mustangs, I would look that direction.
