We used to have a club a year or so back, but lack of participation (common of UF students) and the bs cop haggling that came from the ricers finding our hang out spots and making a bad name for us. If ever want to know anything about racing in Gainesville, ask me as I'm usually at the track and a buddy of mine owns Rollins Automotive in town.

I live in Gainesville. I dont have a car though. I drive a white '99 Silverado 2WD single cab fleet side with a 5.3L. I go to the track as often as I can. Last time I went, which was the 19th of February, I got a 14.888 at 90.06mph. Pretty decent for a truck I think. When I'm able to get a job I plan on having it in the 12's. I'm in bad need of a posi rear and maybe some 3.73's or 4.10's.

I'm in Melrose and have a 5.3 99 Sierra. Never ran it at the track though. She's got 170k on her and I have to be nice. We should get some people together in the area though.

I think we could make an exception for ya! I just don't want to advertise trucks and get a bunch of lowriders and jacked-up trucks.

I would have no problem with that. I'm currently going to Santa Fe and plan on going to UF next year sometime. Like I said, I go to the track every other test 'n tune. So I'll be there March 30th. Yeah, I have to admit my truck runs pretty good for what I have done to it. Dual Borla exhaust, LS1 e-fans, Hypertech, and K&N induction. After I get a job which SHOULD be this month I plan on having it in the 13's, which shouldn't be too hard. Also, I was checking out the GMCA website a few weeks ago. I thought it looked like it was no longer active with the members. A good reference site to look at would be TMCA (Tallahassee Muscle Car Association). I do a few things with those guys every now and then. I'm from Perry, FL; so I was closer to Tally before I moved to Gainesville.

like I said if you guys want to try and get something going, we can always give it a shot. I'd need someone to spread the word around campus (that's the main draw) by flyers and other means. Since I have a full-time job, I have limited amount of time, but can get some buddies with cars to come I know (about 5-7 cars).

Yes, TMCA is an awesome site! Some of them actually make their way over to Gainesville for the test N tunes sometimes.
