It was the wonderful people (fellow racers & track employees) at Gainesville that made racing there fun during my bracket years (1980s-90s)
I was there to race & didn't pay much attention to the stinky sulphur water or the icky bathrooms. But always check under those toilet seats... for spiders and stuff.... and those crazy tree frogs.

They use to give candy out during first round of time trials and one lady who use to work there made little home-made Christmas decorations for all the racers. Just little things like that made you feel welcome and part of a family. The "good ole days!"

Heard Fuzzy was at the PRI show either this past year or the year before.
