Default Florida Racers!!

Next EFCC is May 22nd, I don't think there are any scheduled events to conflict so let's have a recruitment blitz!!! I think we can get a record turnout (let's show the NJ group we have the numbers!) so we need everyone possible to drag every other corvette racer possible to the race!!!!! Spectators as well, this is a great cruise-in destination for any clubs to come and watch.

I looked through that site and did not see where it specificall said a time. I did see where the regular Bradenton Sat 22 bracket event starts @ 4.00. Is that the same for US?

Hey Jason...the gates open at 9 AM...we start the practice runs for the Challenge about 10:15 AM...Eliminations begin at 12 Noon...we all hang out in the Northeast corner of the pits...can't miss us...

The 4:00 PM time is for a separate event, the evening brackets...you can stay around after the Challenge if you like and run that too..it's an additional $20....their Elims start at around 6 PM...come on out for the Challenge at least...it's too much fun...

Hey Rodney,
Maybe Keith will finish changing the spark plugs in that little ol white '98 down there and I can make the trip down and see if it'll limp down the track. You did say you would "spot" me a couple of lights now didn't you.....? Wouldn't want that "Blue Beast" taking advantage of me now...
