Default GTO's vs. Mustangs @ Gainsville?

FIRST, Search function isn't working for me, so sorry....

I haven't noticed anyone talking about this so, I'm just wondering if its still happening. About a month or two ago I remember hearing about the GTO club(s) & Mustang club(s) in northern FL were renting out the track in Gainesville sometime in september?

I have been expecting to goto this but, haven't heard anything about it since and I figured there would at least be some mention of it if it were still happening.

The event is scheduled 9am - 4pm and then they will have a regular test and tune afterwards from like 4:30pm to ???. The GTO/Stang thing is only open to GTO's and Stangs and there's a signup list over on LS1GTO.com. So, for us camaro firebird guys, Its $5.00 to the GTO club guys to get in and watch. It says they are donating that $5 to charity or something... The regular test and tune session aftwards is a totally seperate event and everybody will have to leave the track for that 1/2 hour prior to 4:30 and come back. I think that cost is like $20.

My 400hp GTO beat a new 500hp Shelby Cobra a few months back at OSW, my 12.57 to his 13.30.

There isn't a TNT on September 8th after the track rental, it's a regular Saturday night bracket race, see the schedule: www.gainesvilleraceway.com/apcm/templates/schedule.asp?articleid=17854&zoneid=67&navsource=T rack%20Schedule

There is a street and fast trophy class that run for a trophy for a $20 entry fee, and you'll get 2 time runs before eliminations.

Bump this if anyone knows what happened? It was raining around 2-2:30 that afternoon when I was within 5 miles of the track. Did the event happen?

yep it happened, we had a good time......we got 4-5hrs in at least then the rain came but plenty of runs and everything. I wish my car was done so I didnt have to be a spectator but still fun to watch. I saw plenty of mustangs that LOOKED like they were fast,

most of them weren't that fast, It just looked that way because they were lined up next to GTO's
