I'm a spectator this time!
Looking forward to it!

 

[GARY J]

You will have a blast.

 

[GARY J]

Sounds like we should have a couple of Twin Turbo Ford GT's there as well.

 

[Casey]

The question is: Will Big Red be there ready to go?

 

[Cudaman]

Hmmmm....... I can't drive my Viper because it is too cold and I can watch Hisssstory happen the Fastest Vipers and Ford GTs in the world setting new world records. I will be there.

[GARY J]

Big Red will be there.

 

[Simms]

Any go-cart plans yet Gary? Last year got a little messy, LOL.

 

[Cudaman]

I heard there might be a Saleen S7 running in the street tire class. Can anybody verify this for me? Is it a movie or rock star, pro athlete, or maybe a farmer? Would love to race that car......

I heard the same, but I also heard he also retired from the the CIA and the Department of Defense.

You must be registered for see images

I think he is running in the 200 mph and faster street class.

I would love a ride in that S7?!

How far is Bradenton Raceway from Tampa?

I'm not flying on AIR-TRAN!!! I need to see the Jets on the wings before I step foot in any plane!

 

[Toby]

Bradenton is about 45 to 60 minutes south of Tampa and just north of Sarasota.

Definetly going to be a go cart outing this year. Better bring your neck brace.

If my car runs 11.5 what class will I be in? 10.5 and slower or 12.0 and slower. 10.5 and slower means I lose by 10 car lengths. 12.0 class means just don't run all out. Car is exhaust and et's only. If I remember these were my two choices.

 

[GARY J]

Mike,
Your best bet would be to put your stock tires back on and run in the street tire class or the stock car class. I'm sorry that there is a bit of a gap in the classes, but we are doing the best we can. Juat come out and have a good time. I hope to see you there.

BTW,

There are about ten cars preregistered. Almost all of the guys I know have not preregistered (slackers-including me).

This includes:
Ward
Tony A
Aaron M
Jerry K
Mystery Fast Guy 1
Me (haha)
Chad
Julio ?
John H
Yellowstain
Macedo Guys ?
Joe D
The SRT Ram Guys (6-10 trucks)
The Jacksonville Posse (several cars) ?
The Ohio Guys (Tony, Superdave, etc) ?
UGR guys (several cars)
Anyone coming from Texas
The Atlanta Crew (TT 06 Z06, and a couple of other goodies)
I'm sure I am forgetting some guys...

Looks like we are going to have a decent GT turnout with at least two stock and possibly two or three TT's.

We will also have a TTS7 there for sure and possible an Enzo hanging out. Should be pretty kick ass!

Does anybody have room in their trailer for my car , I can meet you anywhere in Texas and load it up. I also have $ for gas and misc. It is just too far to pull from Austin.

 

[GARY J]

Spray,
Jerry is having his Heffner TTGT picked up by Gary Almond. You might want to check into it. He has a double trailer. Also, hennnnesssey said he was coming, and you know a big baller like him has a multi-car trailer as well. Hope to see you there.

 

[Simms]

Maybe I am wrong Gary, but can't people like Mike 99ACR test and tune all day Saturday (and Sunday??)by entering the exhibition class?

 

[GARY J]

That is correct. It is my goal for everyone to have as much track time as they like. That's what these small private events are all about.
