I'm not sure what time I arrive, but I leave Portland Maine early Friday morning. I am planning on going to Orlando Speed World Friday night in whatever rental slug I end up to hopefully figure out tire pressures and launching technique. On Saturday I plan on heading up to Gainsville for their points race that afternoon.
I do not know where I will be staying on Friday night yet, but I do know it will NOT be the Ramada near Orlando Speedworld. Saturday AM I check into the Dolphin (on the Disney property). From Sunday afternoon on I have conferences until I leave on Wednesday, but Sunday AM is open, and if anyone want to catch a race or whatever the weekend is available

Hey tnthub, what's up? It's kinda funny that I was up near you just a little while ago(north shore of Mass) but never met you, but maybe I'll get a chance to meet you down here. You're just going to the test and tune friday night? I might meet you there, haven't been to the track in a long time. You're just going to run your rental? That could be fun;) Anyway, let me know your plans and I'll see if I can meet you up there!
Yup. I'll have a rental of some sort, I'm hoping to find a 16.99 Lumina or something. If the car is slow enough you can put the gas on the floor, stand on the brakes, and launch fairly consistently. Hereis what a 1993 Lumina looks like at the launch: http://www.actionracingphotos.com/photos/2003/051803NEDMODIFIED/images/P5180760.jpg
I made it to the semi's where I succumbed to wheelspin.
Arrive in Orlando supposedly around 1:00pm. Speed World opens at 6:00pm.

That's you in the latest issue of GMHTP isn't it Ted? That shootout article was really cool. The last time I was at SpeedWorld I saw that Impala SS that was in the article there. Totally badass.
Yea, Thanks for noticing... :)
Now heading to the airport...
