Re: I Was Shocked.........
My experience has been that they get it all fixed up for the Gators and then do nothing the rest of the year... Then the same thing all over again.. They close the track completely down for two weeks to "prepair for the Gators". No test N tune, brackets no nothing... But us peon sportsmen racers is all that would be there anyway... So what???? The really don't care... If you don't believe me just attend a drivers meeting during their bracket races... They will tell you "We don't care". And they wonder why car counts are in the crapper??????

Re: I Was Shocked.........
Welcome to the 60s when you raced on old airfields & walked out into the weeds to pee. You have the old style dragstrip with modern day mystery meat burgers, what more could you ask for ? Maybe they could let the spectators line the track 3 feet away from the cars inside the walls as they go down too, what could go wrong ? People keep coming back for more so why should they change a good thing ?

It's who is running the place. Too much of the "if ya don't like it,race somewhere else" attitude.

Nope, no beer, just a bare burger. Food costs have always been high there though. Jim

Re: I Was Shocked.........
Amazing number of bracket racers drive north right thru Gainesville in order to run at Valdosta....anybody really wonder why?

I don't live far from Gainesville, but haven't turned a wheel there in 2 years. I go to other tracks, that are further away. |

Re: I Was Shocked.........
From what I recall of the last time I ate one,calling them hamburgers is a long stretch. I dont want to know what they are made of but I know what they arent.
