Anyone heading to the Gatornationals? I'll be there Friday for sure, and possibly Thursday. Wish I could go more days, but I have a $@#&! wedding on Sunday in south Florida 
Don't forget there's a 200-300 entrant car show at the Oaks Mall on Saturday starting around 4 pm.

777,
Start modding?? Hell I already did what I planned on doing and finished a few years back
The Nova gets the mod list 
and that list never seems to end......
Got Me SOM,
Yep this weekend. I believe tickets for Friday are around $30 each, and Saturday Sunday tickets start around $60 bucks and go up from there.
Kevin,
I'd do general admission for Thursday or Friday, but Saturday/sunday you'll want reserved seating unless you like standing all day 4-5 rows deep.

Yep, I know how that goes! If you're ever heading to the track, send me a pm as I'm usually there 2-3 times a month.
Richie,
I'm sure the beer will be flowing starting tonight, and not just at the bars and restaurants
I have a feeling there will be as many beer trucks as race rigs in gainesville this weekend

Gatornationals I'll be there Sunday and if any of you maniacs want to meet up pm me . The tickets are the same price as last year and get reserved for sunday . Last year was a blast and I think this year will be better . I hope the vendors have more ls1 products available . I purchased Royal Purple Synchromax for $5 something a bottle and no tax , sweet .

I went yesterday. First time seeing top fuel . Hopefully the track will be warmer the rest of the weekend. A lot of good runs, including a number of records, but a lot of people couldn't get traction on the cold track.

We had a fun weekend. Got to see some good dragraces, a couple records, and lots of sunshine. Tim, Richie , and me only went out on Fri night and did`nt get too crazy drinking, normally we stay out till 2 or 3 and drink way too much . Everyone loves Top Fuel and Funnycar, but the Pro Mod cars are awsome. Jay Payne(also runs Valvoline Alcohol Funnycar) and wife Shelley Anderson( ex Top Fuel) both ran brand new blown Valvoline Stratus`s, he won Pro Mod and set MPH record 3 times, best 236.08. Andrew Hines ran 6.99 for the first PS bike in the 6s, and Tony Schumacher ran the best MPH 334.85 for any Gator Nats on his last chance to Qualify on Sat night.
