get that bitch fixed vince! you got plenty of time this probably wont be going on until late september or early october when it cools down a bit.
blazer_4.3, the gainesville track has a test & tune every wednesday. I'm sure it won't be nearly as crowded on a wednesday night than a friday or saturday night so we will get to run the cars about 6 or 7 times each that one night if we get there as soon as the gates open. I believe the gates open at 6:00pm. We just need to make sure we pick a date that the most people can attend, and hopefully when it doesn't rain at all.

RE: Central FL Mustang Meet VOTE!! where?
I found this article about OSW (Orlando SpeedWorld aka. Bithlo track) Interesting read...
I know what you're thinking-- Bithlo? Why the hell would you be caught anywhere near Bithlo, especially on a Saturday night? There are people who live in our city that don't even know where Orlando Speed World is (indeed, one of our Shock Squaders got lost trying to find it). But we here at OrlandoCityBeat have a name for the rare breed that frequents OSW-- and no, it ain't Redneck. We call them Engineheads. And they were out in full force this weekend at Saturday Night Street Drags.
Built in 1966, Orlando Speed World has the only 1/4 mile NHRA sanctioned dragstrip in Orlando. Despite popular belief, SR 436, SR 50 and I-4 are not sanctioned by the NHRA as legal racetracks. So unless you enjoy quiet evening rides in the back of a police car, take it to the track.
For the low price of $15 USD (pesos are not accepted) you may take your 580 HP pushing Camaro, your '94 Civic with intake and super sweet body kit, or your mom's mini-van down the track. This price also includes FREE ambulance service should your body need to be recovered from mangled and burning wreckage.
The dragstrip at Orlando Speed World is about as much fun as you can have in your car, without being arrested.
