John managed to win tickets for us to go to Gator Nationals on Saturday, here in Gainesville. Not very many pictures were taken of the actual racing, we came to the sad realization this weekend that we need a new camera, one that is capable of taking quick pictures. So these are some pictures from around the track, and in the parking lot. :) And I'm sure Doward will post more after he gets back inside from the Supra.

Behind us in line, we think it is a mid-60's Nova:

Gorgeous dark purple Prowler we passed coming in:

Had to stop momentarily for my orgasm to subside as we passed this one on our way through the front parking lot:

Beautiful 50th anniversary Corvette, the same color my Maverick will *eventually* be:

Ass-end of one of the Chevy pro-mods (and this was taken through the fence, lol):

Me next to a Top Fuel Dragster, where I would have to get help to sit on the top of the tire:

Some from the actual track now:

I'm hot, I'm sunburned and tired and ready to go home, but can we PLEASE take it with us???? And don't mind the resemblance to Medusa...it was quite windy yesterday.

And the token Ford Festiva that was good for some hysterical laughing as we left:

The wait to get back OUT was even worse..only waited about 45 minutes to an hour or so to get IN, but it took us about 2 hours to get out....traffic was awful.

Yeah, it was hell getting back out.

I loved how you climbed out of the truck while we're stop and go, to get the pic of the car behind us :D

It was a blast. The look on Laura's face when two Top Fuel dragsters took off next to us... priceless.

Had to get the poor girl a towel, she came so hard :D

Looking at all these muscle cars makes me want to ditch the Supra and devote my time to my dad's car, which will be mine in a few years:

No, they gave it to the father, he had the higher speed....208.36 vs 207.27


Well, speed wouldn't be the determining factor of who won the race, the RT would be, and i see the lights above the scoreboard lit for the son, so i'm sticking with that ;)

BTW, the red nova is a '67, the black camaro is a '68, and the red camaro in the trailer is a '69....all very nice choices for pics! :) Glad you had a good time....

Does that ford have an intercooler?? Maybe im just seeing things.

Edit: I probably am. It looks like an end tank just to the left of the ford emblem. Im crazy i guess.
