Aug. 20th Sunshine Dragstrip "Street Heat"....

Copied and pasted this from another website. I went last month and it was cool for $10. I had fun. It's a 1/8 mile track, pretty much open to whatever you bring...cars, trucks, bikes. Thought it might be cool if a bunch of G's showed up. Has anyone else here been?? Check it out....

Yeah, 1/8 mile is too small for me. I'll be at Bradenton soon though.

There's usually atleast a handful of "fast" cars out there actually. No offense, but I'd be surprised if a boosted G is the fastest there. I'd rather hit a 1/4 mile track as well...but this is alot closer. Any of you guys that plan on going let me know...maybe we can meet up!

Gettinby...Where in Valrico are you? I live in Bloomingdale.

It's going right off 60 by the skating rink. Before Kings on right heading east. Looks like they are starting on it anyway. We have to get together, not a bunch of Brandon people. You me and Corey, Chris W. My name is Mike.
