Test and tune from 6-11PM on 10/13/05
Anyone going?
Is this a rice fest?
How is track prep for these test and tune events?

1) why arent you heading to race rock for the huge street cruise/car show for the world street nationals?
2) its nto a rice fest. that is the sat night (or is it friday night) club 1320.
3) track prep is awesome. i go low 1.5 to high 1.4 60' on the radials there on an average TNT. get there early.

For once Bradenton is not the place to be for racing, all the badass cars will be in Orlando this weekend. It all starts at Race Rock on I Drive from 4-9pm on Thurs.

1. Because I didn't read the thread and see there was a cool race planned on Thurs Night. Also Bradenton is closer for me by almost 3 hours round trip.
2. Good not a rice fest. Thanks for the heads up.
3. Track prep always seems good at Bradenton.



Is the Orlando race for F bodys or for anyone?
How many cars are expected?

I'll be out there Thursday. track prep is usually pretty good. The earlier you get there the better. After 8 or 9 they tend to get alot more crap cars running.

I live in Bradenton, and can tell you if you dont get there early, you will be sorry. There is usually alot of people there, but I guess it all depends on what else is going on. Might be different this week with the world street nationals in orlando. Track prep as Gator said is always good, and since it is getting darker sooner, that means the weather is cooling down a little. There's usually a fair mix of ricers, domestics, and even the occasional truck or suburban.
