Looks like you have some Formula competition out there Derek. You need to have your wife bring out your Formula .

there are a few around, but this will be a mixed variety of muscle cars, both early and late model. We used to see about 30-40 cars every week, and about 70% were late-models. Yes you may see a few stangs there as well, but it's always better than ricers

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Man, mother nature doesn't want me to go. Raining here in Orlando, and I sure ain't getting on the highway in the rain to head up north to G'ville.

Updates and pics later on to let us know how it all went guys.

Take care.

wow im glad to see a car club up at UF. im moving up there the 20th of august and it will be my first semester. me and my buddy both have muscle type cars. I have a 02 Z28 and he has a 2000 GTP 4door that runs mid 13. some of you might have seen him cause he went up there for summer classes and has been to a few meets. its black and has yellow GTP badges. i went to one with him but it was at a taco bell lot or near by one if i remember correctly. cant wait to get up there and hit Gville raceway. ive only ever raced at spin-world and something under 2.3 60fts will be a blessing to me.

I know Rollins Auto could do it for you, but for a parking lot job, I have no experience with clutch installs unfortunately

Kevin?

Thats one thing that I would never do without a lift, just too much of a pain in the *** to get the input shaft lined up with the PP and clutch when your lying on your back wrestling with a heavy tranny. I say just pay someone to do it right. As for the clutch master cylinder, I did do that on my car and it wasn't too difficult, so I could definetly help you out with that (saves a lot on labor charges, because shops don't like to do them).

I sent you a PM Chris.

Derek, I'm going to give you a call tonight to see if the track has a good turn out, I don't want to head up there if its dead.

Kevin
