Yep, 10-4, although they sometimes crack the gates a little early. I'm going to try and be at this one, but have a few variables this week to work out to make it happen!

The green line represents the layout we use. We typically run the track clockwise, but sometimes we switch it up during the day.

FAQ:

How much does it cost?
$100 to $125 in cash or PayPal before the event. The exact cost depends on our expected participation. More cars = lower cost.

If you need to know the exact cost before the event, you should probably find a cheaper hobby. However, you can also ask me a week before the event and I’ll let you know.

Can be that case during the first 1-2 TNT races if the weather is forecasted to be nice. No track time since late November = can be a big crowd.

I have been out there before a few years back so I know it's not cheap. (back then it was 50 for the half day 100 for the full day, for the event I went to)

Finding event information is where I have been kind of lost; all I can find on the Gainesville-raceway web site is the drag racing test&tune info.

edit: and the info if I wanted to get a group together and rent the track myself.
