I saw a bunch of race car trailers heading north on the Florida Trnpke after leaving the PRI show in Orlando on Thursday late afternoon. Icould only assume that they were heading to Gainesville.

John, I called 1320.go.com, they said they called the track and they wouldn`t turn on 1320go because they were setting records today, 1320go said it would be on tomorrow. Tom

Great day here at Gainesville! Typical November weather for this part of Florida, cool in the evening, but warming up rather quickly as the Sun comes out, although some clouds rolled in later in the day.

A few records broken yesterday, Wednesday - Cap't Jack McCarthy is the new Record Holder in U/SA with his classic 1960 Chevy wagon. I believe there were a few others at the teardown trailer, but I'm sorry .I didn't get much information.

We all got three time runs today, and were finished before 1600. Track opens tomorrow at 0700, and we're right into the Combo at approximately 0900. Should be a good day as there are a number of quick cars here!:D

More tomorrow!

Apparently not...I know we're spoiled but too much trouble to turn it on? Probably get some Facebook post from Rich at the end of the day then DRC tomorrow

I would just like to thank Mr. Collins for helping us out as much as he did; however with that said it will be my first and last Open at Gainsville and I think I speak for a few other racers when I say shame on whomever was in charge of the track preparations. The test and tune session on Thursday was a disgrace and the track wasn't much better yesterday. At least half the cars left and with a minimal car count to begin with, this Open will probably be non existent soon enough. I just wonder how NHRA and the track thinks a race is suppose to grow from year to year when you can even put your best foot forward on the first go. Weather was great, had a great time seeing a few friends before seasons ends and most of us made our war to PRI. Next time the NHRA or the track needs extra money to properly prepare the track, I'm sure you can pass the hat around the pits and we will be more than happy to chip in, especially after driving over 2000 miles!

I heard the track was terrible, many racers left on Friday. Anyone know if the SS/AH record was reset? Thanks, Dyno
