I’m to young to worry about crap like parking. I’m more worried about dialing my car and trying to win some rounds. (key word TRYING)
but you can’t complain about not getting in then. It’s either low quotes and haft ***** parking spots or higher quotes and ****ty/crappy parking spots. 75% of us are there to race, you guys that show up three days before a pts meet can worry about parking. See everyone there on Friday sometime.

Everyone that was inline is now parked, but many are not happy. I heard there were about 4 or 5 racers that are pulling out of the National. They will run the divisional where you are allowed to park on the black top inside the track for just the division race.

Its a tough call for NHRA I quess with a 100 more entry's than last year. The road course is a nice place to park, its flat and has paved roads for the most part, but its very far away. I would think that they would have put Top Sportsman and Top Dragster on the road course since they tow their cars. The usual spots for the sportsman cars that arrive early are now for Top classes only.

Unfortunately its made so many racer unhappy, but I guess there are worse things in life to worry about. No reason to get here early if your a ss, stk, sg and sc car, there are no spots available for early bird inside the track.

Here are a few shots of the racers that are out today.

Since the road course is so far away from the rest of the pits, is there any security when the cars are running?

Does anyone have any pictures of the road course area?

Jake, search Gainesville Raceway on Google Earth and you can see the full layout.

Is there any asphalt parking left for racers just running the Divisional?

This is from Google Earth. Every inch is 500ft. I got around 14,500ft round trip, so roughly 2.75 miles.
