Gainsville details....

[DAVE]

Whos going?
When are we going?

I was under the impression we were going on Saturday but last night I heard that we were going on Friday night. I think that I will be up there on Saturday afternoon and leave Sunday. I dont want to spend 2 nights up there but one night will be fine. I dont think the event will be that great on Friday anyway because it should just be qualifying. Saturday and Sunday it should be good.

It was Shaun who suggested that we leave on Friday night. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. Everyone was hot to go, but now no one is talking about it! I want to go, but not if no one else goes. :flamemad:

See this thread from the old board! (http://www.greenliquid.com:9000/cgi-bin/orlubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=000049)

And this one. (http://www.greenliquid.com:9000/cgi-bin/orlubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=000060)

From experience, I will tell you guys what I recommend:
Get up early Sunday morning, and drive to Gainsville (I am doing just that).
I found out that most DSM'rs that go for the whole weekend to a Racing Event, won't show up again to another event for about another Racing Season, :lol:
It will cost you more money and stuff to spend all that time up there.
For those who will drive up Sunday morning, let us know and we can meet up and drive in caravan. May be even have a race or 2, :) .

:frust: Makes sence?

No problem...I know DSMers well (they all want a discount :D )


My opinions on going to the event.

If you only plan on going one day, GO SUNDAY.

For the best time, I'm planning on going on Sat. and Sunday. That way you can see the maximum amount of runs AND it only costs $5 more to go both days.

Just my $0.02

[Dustin]

i wouldn't mind going just sunday if a couple of others wantto ride out then

[Manie]

Rob baby, thanks for the discount coupon. :cool:

[akiegsx]

Yeah Rob, thanks for the coupon!:D

[Jesus]

I'll be hopefully running on the street tire class, with my Supra..

[Glenn]

The way it looks, if I can still make it, I will not be going till Sunday. I just got another web site job. Lots of work, but good $$$$ :)

[DAVE]

Well its official......I wont be leaving untill sunday either. I will be leaving sunday morning. Lets meet up at walmart in the morning at like 7 or 8 am. Sound good? maybe we can get s0me breakfast or something and then head out. It will be a lot more fun if we caravan out there together!!

[Dustin]

hey guys take a look at the coupon Rob posted up.if you look on the coupon itself.it says no copies or faxes.just some useful info for anyone that was gonna use it

[Manie]

That is awesome Jesus. You are runing your Supra. Looks like there will be a hand full of Supras coming from Orlando to race at Gainsville. Should be a nice event for us expectators.
I won't spoil the party, but an undisclosed test was permormed on a certain Orlando Supra and all I can say is "Holly Cow".
This Supras are "Fast and Furious".
Dawm, :bowdown: .

How about a group meet for the FLA DSMer's at a restarunt in G-ville after the NHRA event?

Chilis or Steak and shake comes to mind, but if someone has a better idea with a restaurant with lot of seating that would be great.
We can plan it now and meet there after the Gainsvilles event.
