Fuel ****. Period. Best people down here although alot of people may say different, come down get in with them and you'll love it. Next Level Performance is one of the top fbody shops in the country and is probably less than 20 minutes from where you live. Now for the bad, Orlando Speedworld is the drag strip down here nick named Orlando Spinworld and for good reason, They don't really take time to prep for test n tune nights so unless you're running at an event you wont really hook like you should.

Welcome to Orlando. Allright soon there will be 2 turbo cars to wip up on. As far as SpinWorld goes all you have to do is ask Randy(track owner) to prep lanes 1 &2 and the track hooks just fine, sometimes.

Winter is actually the hight of our dragracing season. Orlando has the World Street Nats in 3 weeks(fastest door slammers in the country). We also have the NoBull Nats on every Funday Sunday at OSW(Orlando Speedworld) theres one this weekend, these are streetable racecars from all over FL 20 - 30 of them running mid 8sec, to 9sec and 10sec streetcars. Also Bradenton has the Snowbird Nats in Nov and US Street Nats in Jan( the same cars that will run at the World Street Nats in Oct). Of coarse the Gatornationals in March. From Orlando you can race at Bradenton, Gainsville, Orlando Speedworld, or Lakeland dragstrip year round all within 1 1/2 hours driving distance.
I look forward to racing with you, Dave

If someone stole my LS1, and I found them, I will no doubt kill them.

Not like OJ looking for "Nichole's Killers"

Maybe I should break in the motor and get it tuned first?
