I'm just glad you guys are doing something to keep interest in our club. Come on down on August 10th for my Cobra Bash and you will find out what a run to Gainesville would be.

Dan, we run the tech, and drivers dinner on the Friday night before the
event runs. This allows everyone to be in position, rested and refreshed.
We then leave from the hotel early on Saturday morning for a quick
25 minute drive out to the track. Most of the folks spend Saturday night,
and have a leisurely drive home on Sunday.
And this is not a dig.....as one of the few Florida natives in the DSCC,
I'm well aware of how big this state is. It IS a long drive, but we have
several that have come just as far or further before. It's your call.
I was talking with Ken Collett about Old Town, and we both feel that it
is simply too hot to stand around in 93f heat on a concrete slab for 5 hours,
with no shade, and stop and go traffic for miles. Cobras DON'T dig stop n'
go traffic in 90f heat. Bad things can happen. (Especially to Big Blocks!)
Orlando is brutal until Sept. or so, that's why Old Town kind of just drops
off. Anyone in the DSCC is welcome to set up an Old Town cruise, it's just
a little warm for my personal taste until fall. Please don't let that stop you
or anyone else who wants to do it. It IS an awesome show.
I will make your Bash, work schedule, and weather permitting. Cheerio!
