Ocala is a very nice and clean facility, so we are going to emphasize cleanliness and respect towards the track, it's workers, and the local environment. Any goofing around, horseplay in the pit area, and otherwise disrespectful behavior will NOT be tolerated and will result in expulsion from the facility with no refund.

Parking is ample, but limited, so we recommend carpooling for non-drivers. We want you out there, but we don't want you to have to “Austin Powers” your car in order to get a parking spot!

last time i went i drove my car packed to the roof with tires and tools. took the passenger's seat out and stacked more tires in there. takes about 6.5hrs from my house and if everyone goes together it's not a bad drive at all. get a hotel the night before and just get down there and chill out.

i'm gonna make struka go even if it means he gets kick out of school (it's what the cool kids do anyway). so is there going to be a hotel down there for us to stay at or are we turning someone house into a hotel? i like sleeping for free.

i'm thinking about getting a hitch put on the 240, i already have access to a dinky trailer. if anyone has attempted this yet let me know. i've already seen an s14 with a hitch but the guy said he hacked up one from an integra or something and "made it work". i'm gonna stop by uhaul tommorrow and see what they say.

OCALA OR BUST!

hitches are great ideas.. most of the autox dudes that drive their cars to the track and are serious about autox usually have a small trailer.. plus it makes the interiors of the car much more comfortable and safe..

DO IT!

yea, we will more than likely go but this means we would leave 3pm (4pm eastern time) and get in ocala by 3am, cuz i am not skipping any classes.
