Hrmm... I just raced in Orlando yesterday, two weekends in a row? I'm going to have to put some serious thought into it. But, I know G'ville is a great track and worth the drive.

I'd like to, but I'd have to back track then. Are you guys going to go on blanding? If so, I can wait for you guys.

Sounds good man.

Going on blanding, you'll see a big building with a sign that says "Tractor Supply" on your left. It's pretty much the only building there. I'll be at the parking lot.

We'll discuss the details as we get closer to the date, but that's where I'll be along with few others who wanna cruise together.

They mention a chance of isolated thunder storms sometime after 3pm... I'll keep an eye out for changes. I'm really not trying to miss this one.

yea i checked the extnded forecast and it said chance of afternoon t-storms. ill check one more time tomorro mornign before work and post a final decision whether itll be suitable enough for the drive there and back or not.

local heretic- i think im gonna end up having everyone meet up in the mall parking lot, prolly by dicks sporting goods. so no one has to back track. that a lil better for you to just meet us there so we dont have to stop?

Hey Glen,
I don't know if you've ever seen the Tractor supply building on the left on blanding when going to the track, it's right after Win Dixie.
I'll be waiting for you guys at the Tractor supply parking lot and catch you guys as you drive by.
Can you call me when you guys get near so that I can get to the parking lot where I'll be able to see you guys drive by so I can pull out an catch up to you?

I PM'd you my number.
I drive a green TA.

Gainesville weather in summer = hit or miss on rain. I've seen it pour on 30% and us get an entire race in on 70%. Last few days have been spotty rain, today was fine to this point. I know they rained out Wednesday TNT.

I will likely head out to spectate in the truck.
