Default Anyone interested in meeting up at Gainesville Raceway Feb 16th?

Any Florida members interested in meeting up at Gainesville Raceway on Feb. 16th? There is a test and tune scheduled for then. It would be fun to hang out with some other F-Body enthusiasts. Let me know by posting here or PMing me.

Note: The test and tune is tenative due to track construction.

That would be cool if we could get enough people it would be just a cool time wether you were running your car or not. That's 3 people so far. Oh and FYI its $5 spectator and $20 to run for those who were wondering.

I'm going this Saturday to run the car. Hopefully the weather doesn't **** it up.

Might as well go there on the 16th as well.

Feb 16th sounds good to me. We had a few guys going from this site for last Saturday's T&T before it got rained out. I wouldn't be available to go again until the 16th so that works out great.

I also may be there this weekend if the weather holds up. On the Feb 16th date I'm not sure at this point. The Lucas Oil Divisional race is the week after that so I may skip the 16th for that race instead.

Thanks Derek, last time I called gainesville was about 3 weeks ago and the latest date that had for a TNT was on the 9th.

But me and probably atleast 3 others are going to go.

9th has been cancelled due to tower construction. 16th was a TBA that turned into a test and tune. The last one is always the best to go to because theres hardly anyone there. I remember 2 years ago I was there with my dad and by the end of the day there was no one in the staging lanes. You could just pull in and run whenever.
