Wear pants, bring a helmet (sometimes you can rent one from them). Look for a bunch of f-bodies from jax and come introduce yourself. We rented the track for my bachelor party and it rained, so this sat is our makeup day.

Track should be good with the air I'm seeing projected. I'll be heading south to Bradenton for some fast street car action, but have a good time. You'll like Gainesville!

How about a rollcage if you run 10.70

Well I just got back. From 10-11 the track was hooking awesome, after that it went to ****. 
Here's a few of my best runs...

Nice day for sure... the track was awesome this morning then it did go to crap. I pulled a 1.59 N/A easing it out of the hole... I was just doing some logging on the scanner to check my wideband and spark. My 2-3 shift was giving me problems all day long. Anyways my best was 11.20 @122 mph then I had to call it quits... no cage
I could not hook at all on the N20.... high 1.6s and 1.7s.. getting quit a bit of spin.
Good to meet some of you guys!

traction After they recleaned the track when some one leaked fluid on it I was spining in 2nd gear. Me and Doc both noticed the track going to crap.Honestly this was the worst I have ever seen the track. Hopfully it will be better next time.

Congrats guys. Bummer the track went south. I was there last weekend and the hook was there considering we had a 10" tire car in the 9's hitting 1.36 60 foot times on the spray. I'm sure the air was nice!

Does Gainesville have a website with a schedule for T&T? Just wondering, I guess Orlando might be closer for me but I do like going up to Gainesville for the Super Chevy show.
