I will be there tonight 6/18/09 checking out the road course. I know a few of you wanted to come and check it out. I'll be out there around 9:30. $10 to get in and $5 to race around the course. My number is at the bottom anyone can shoot me a txt. Cya there tonight!

Central Florida Road Course that a few of you had posted about will be open from 6pm to 12am. With Orange County Sheriff Department over looking law breakers to help deal with the on going street races. Therefore giving people a place to race in a safer environment then in the street. I will be going before the meet to see how this plays out. Also to see how the new track is. Im sorry if ya posted a reply about shouldnt be speeding or racing on the street.. But thats how all these aftermarket companys started and etc. If anyone know the history of nascar.... it started with people making there cars faster lighter to out run cops when making there MoonShine Runs... so like a HUGE CAR GUY that i am... im going to see how it is... the address is 201 pancel lane orlando fl... here is my number if anyone wants to join before the meet...407-341-9587

 

Do you know how much it is?

 

sorry its free to go... this saturday its gonna be a hot lap course.. last saturday was drag..

 

its normally 25 for the night....i been there twice already...its really a nice setup and alot of people are starting to go...on fridays they have the crooked drag wheres its a smaller course set up side by side and you and the other person race. So im assuming the full track is 25

 

I went that night it was actually $10 to spectate and $25 to race

 

Oh I thought it was free... I hit it up next week cause I'm leaving for hin...

 

Hey I was also thinking about going the weekend of the 5/1,5/2 That is the last weekend I will be a bachelor, Im tying the knot the next weekend!....Pm me if you want to meet up there.

Maybe we can round up a few more folks to go?

 

Did you race, or were you hanging? How did they decide what cars to run against each other?

 

they have different classes i think. There was an Evo out and when he was running up the *** of the accord in front of him they moved him to the next class on his next run.

 

well on friday its crooked drags where its two small courses identical and you race.....you decide who you want to race or just whoever is next to you in line...... i was hanging out bc wasnt sure if i wanted to test my stretched tires lol

 

i"ll be there May 2... doing some drag racing... i want to beat my best time of 13.7 at 102.85 mph.... do they have a tree and stuff?

 

its not a 1/4 mile kind of drag

 

Ah that's sucks...

 

its a 1/8th mile...the purpose of the 1/8th mile is bc the owner is working with a local cop from OF to try and reduce street racing near the area...So if they can bring them more to a controlled organized environment w/o getting into trouble its a success. I really respect what they are doing

 

I've been to the track as well. It's a nicely done course. If I had better tires and brakes I'd do it myself. So the last time I went, I just spectated. I paid $10 to watch and as a side note - you can let someone ride with you as a passenger as well when you pay the $25.

If however, you decide to get someone to ride with you, make sure they're already in the car when you pull in. If you want someone to ride with you later that evening, they won't let you change up.

 

^good to know, I get better traction with a passenger

 

Yeah, that type of course won't matter if you have a passenger or not. No need to worry about weight. But I only weigh 104, so it's not like there's anyone really there anyway. lol

 

dang, I wanted to race this saturday....but my slacker best man for my wedding is like "lets do your bachelor party sat May the 2nd". Now Im gonna have to get wasted and look at ******* instead, shucks (jk!).

Then I got my wedding taking up the next 2 weekends. Annoying (jk ~sort of)

I'll make it there one of these days.....

 

Honestly - why not take your car to the track as part of your bachlor party? I never understood that - you get to look at ***** all the time and there's plenty of strip clubs around town, why is getting married different? Most guys still go anyway, so save the money and TRACK THE CAR! lol

 

maybe will make our next meet there, and go get a bit to eat after...
