So? Is this still on?
I'm planning on doing a trip around Florida, going to Palm Bay first then Gainsville then Big Daddys place.
Do we need to make reservations for the museum? anybody else going to run the TNT at Gainsville?

I was there once and the only hotels i could find were a little bit of a drive from the track. I forget where it was that i stayed but it wasn't the cleanest and the wifi was awful.
I live an hour from the track so I will be staying in my house

I'm planning on driving down from Nashville. Any suggestions for hotels in the area? I hope to be at the track and do the museum.
There are 44 hotels/motels in the Gainesville area. I plan on staying at the Hampton Inn only because I can use my points to stay for free. The quality Inn looks like it has an average rate of $59 a night.

Novenmber 12th Gainesville Raceway:
Track opens @ 10am open test n tune. They said they usually close about 3-4pm. There is a Gambler bracket race as well. When I talked with them it sounded rather informal. They make an announcement and need a minimum of 8 people to sign up and then they will start rounds as needed.

So? How about a head count, who is planning on being there?
Me, The G-Man, aka Gwyn.
I see only 4 people showing up deffinitely:
Lonesoldier79
GMan
SlammedRT
FLRT
Everyone coming please speak up so I can make a list and reach out to Garlits. Right now the cost is $40 a head for the museum and his guided tour through his personal collection and shops. The more people who show the bigger a discount we get.

Clrwatrtomsrt said he might drive up for Sat @ track but had to drive back home that same day. We will try to time driving up I75 together. If anyone else is coming from the south and using any part of I75 let's see if we can meet up for any part of the drive.
Adam (don't believe he is on forum but is on Facebook) can't make Sat (family wedding) but might shoot up for Garlits tour/shine.
What about Steve (Steve '02CC) are you going to make either/both?
Victor (VAP112088) are you going to be able to make either/both?
Is this get together on Facebook page?
