North Florida guys, heading to Gainesville Raceway for daytime test n tune tomorrow

I am going to head down to Gainesville tomorrow, Saturday January 18th to the daytime test n tune if anyone wants to join in on the fun. I am going to have a friend drive my E55 and I am driving the V down so I can run both cars and maybe get some decent times in each then let him take a pass or two in the E if he wants. My drag radials are getting a little harder than they were when I bought them for the V so hopefully that doesn't hurt me to bad and the E55 is on Pilot Super Sport street tires on 20" wheels so not expecting anything spectacular there but it would be sweet to pull an 11 second pass in the E and get a mid 10 in the V.

High of 54, no chance of rain and fairly low humidity at 37% so if that holds up it should be pretty good if the track will hook at all. That is like unicorn weather for Florida.

Gates open at 10am and it is $35 to race and $10 to watch (guess the price went up from the old $25 and $5).

Knew sooner? It is 16 hours away from now (aka tomorrow) and only about 1 hour drive away! Plenty of time to put gas in the car, get in it and drive there


And thanks to the others, hopefully I can get some decent traction in both cars and the V shifts right this time.

Gainesville Raceway, Gator country (Florida). I guess it is technically called Auto Plus raceway now though with the last owner change.
