"Live From" 2023 Baby Gators / Gatornationals

Ken Miele · 02-27-2023, 09:57 AM

Hey guys, its good to be back racing again. First race will be the the Baby Gators of course, followed by the national. We got here yesterday in the afternoon, I would guess there was about 50 rigs here. I think they said they will starting pulling us in around 12. Testing starts on Wednesday, so we have few days to setup. There was a few pros testing yesterday, not sure if they will be testing today.

I'll back with a video rolling into Gainesville and getting parked and taking a ride through the pits later today.

Hey guys, I did find 3 cars out today. I also have a video coming up rolling into Gainesville Raceway and a ride around the pits... stay tuned. Just for fun, can anyone name the drivers of the 3 cars?

How far is it from where you are parked to the staging lanes? Looked like a long ways.

Hey Rob the last two years I went (2018, 2019) we parked in the triangle and it wasn’t far at all. Actually it was pretty good. Tex on 2018 was parked pretty far away, I thought the golf cart was gonna loose the track radio station when I’d go out to visit him lol call ya tonight

Good afternoon all, rigs a slowly rolling in and the pits are starting to fill up. It will be very interesting to see how many cars show up for the Division race. Its another warm day... mid 80's, a little windy with clouds and sun. The local weather forecast for this week looks pretty good except for Saturday. A 40% chance of rain is predicted. How it will effect the pros testing on Sunday is anybody's guess.

Does everyone get to keep their pit spot or will some have to move when the pros and other classes come to town ?

The Pros get top billing on the pavement parking so the cars on their
now will have to move. Usually the cars Not entered for the Nationals
get to park on the pavement.
