Probably not Jan 6th -- but the week after I'll be there. Hopefully I can get my issues cleared up and get some new personal bests.

Gainesville decided to not make us wait this year! Bummer my car is down...

Hopefully I'll make a few with either the truck or the Formula...

How do these things work? do you just turn up, pay the $20 and race?

I'm totally stock just now, but want to give the car a run as comparison for when I start modding.

wow. I might come to a few of those. It's about 4 hours from pensacola, right?

Is that a pretty fast track? I don't wanna drive real far if it's a mediocre track.

I've had a lot of luck with the track. The tech is usually pretty thorough and the staff is a good group of people.

A lot of bracket racers are usually out there on Saturdays so it is usually prepped pretty well for a TnT day.

Depends on how fast you go. 13.99 and faster you need a helmet. 11.49 or faster will need a cage. Make sure your battery is secured.
If you have a mostly stock LS1 or mildly modified just bring a helmet and go at it.

I like this new schedule, see ya'll Saturday!

do they inspect your vehicle prior to racing? You say secured battery, damn! thats funny cause my bracket just broke the other day so mine is just sitting in its place till I get it fixed... Would they inspect for that kinda stuff automatically or do you have to give them a reason to check you out???
