Smile Gainesville weekly meet!

GMCA (Gator Muscle Car Assoc.) is starting up meeting similar to what we used to do a few years back. Every Thursday starting around 8:30 pm at Best Buy on Archer Road, we'll meet up to bs and show off the rides. So far has started slow b/c of time needed to gete word out and crappy weather, but it'll get better! Bring out your classic or modern muscle!

Derek

Went there and was unable to find any sign of muscle cars other than some 6 cylinder wanna-be-muscle mustangs. Went inside best buy and didnt see anyone grouped together. Gonna try again next week.

I was at the Ale House for my fill of NHRA teams and drivers like friends and I do every year. Even had a few guys from Tony Pedregon's team hang out and chat with us for a while.
