Default Hello from Florida

Hello everyone. I am a F-body guy as raised by my F-body dad. I have a hatred for import cars (though I cant help but like Suzuki Bikes) and a love for Firebirds (Camaros are great I just like Firebirds more. They have more curves.) I drive a 1996 Firebird Formula with the original LT1 that I am currently restoring to stock form with a WS6 performance package. Im planning to acquire a 98 Trans Am some time in the near future.

Live in Gainesville and have inherited my Dad's racing bloodline. I race the bracket racing series at Gainesville Raceway. Avid Gator Fan and son of a Bull Gator Booster.

Any more questions just ask.

Welcome, I come from an F-body bloodline myself, Dad, uncles all had one, Dad just got a Z28, even had a few chases with the law. I've got a couple birds myself and picked up an SS, but I tend to lean toward the birds myself, they have a more aggressive look. Not a Gator fan, Bulldogs are in my blood. Enough of my rambling, glad to have another rice hater in the house.

Welcome to the board. There are a few people on here from around Gainsville. I'm closer to Orlando, but I've been thinking about coming up there to check out the track.

Hey. I was trying to get some fellow F-body guys up here anyway on the 16th. Maybe you can join us. There is some construction though. They are building a new timing tower.
