First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Thinking about going to the first two divisional races in Florida (if fuel stays below $4.00/ gallon).
Anybody from division 3 thinking about going?
Do the tracks allow you to stay at the track between the two races? If so, How much per day?
Do you stay at a campground? If so which one?

I've done it in the past but, was able to go to my Uncle's house in between the races. I don't think that's an option this year.

I'm heading down for Orlando and Gainesville- South GA and Gators. I will land in Orlando on or about the 8th of Feb. After we leave Orlando we stay at Garlits and have dinner at Sonny's then on to G-Ville divisional. From there we'll go to Red Oak RV Park down the road about 90 miles or so for a week. It's clean and plenty of room for the MH and Trailer, then head to S. Georgia for the divisional from there. I'm a div 2 Guy , but I live near Indy. Nice this year as all my stuff is stored in Charlotte for the winter and I'll leave from there.

Don't listen to them Chuck! I'm retired, live in Ocala (actually about 5 miles from Garlits) I'll travel back to PA to do the D-1 season.

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Hey Chuck, you know Dublin is right on your way from Indy to Charlotte, just sayin! Happy New Year Guys.

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Thats ok guys I will stay here in the cold and build Diapers. Rick I thought you were growed up

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Don, Ocala is a pretty nice place. Don lets us stay in the lot overnight anytime we pass through.
Jeffery- I don't know where Dublin is? Is that in Ohio ? Either way I won't be heading that way . You heading south ??
Dennis- Crying all the way to the Bank ! Thought you were heading south too ??
Tommy D - are you retired yet ? I heard that Chris wishes that you would !

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Too busy I am going to try and get down there for 1 or 2 Business is great Diapers come first! Jeff are you heading south

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

You can leave your stuff in Orlando for free or they usually let you in G'Ville Monday to stage and let you in tues or wed. If you have a car go there and tour around or stay in Orlando and go waste your money on Mickey Mouse or that RV park Chuck suggested is kool. Tommy De if you were just like Chuck you would be taller...just saying.

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Maybe when I grow up I'll be as tall as You and Chuck....

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Thanks for the replies.

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

A couple more questions.
If you are 65ft or over you would need an oversize vehicle permit. Correct?
Do I need to top at the weigh stations in Florida even though I'm non- commercial?
I keep reading about horror stories and DOT.
Just for the record I will be 63 ft so, I should be OK.
We have never stopped before but, I'm just trying to make sure.

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Correct 65ft is the limit on Florida Interstates- @ 63 ft your ok, Hell I'm 66ft and I just roll through at the speed limit..
Don't know about you but I have a MH that I tow with and I don't stop at weigh stations and never been looked at twice.
Here are the towing Laws by State>http://www.towingworld.com/articles/TowingLaws.htm

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Thanks. Hopefully see you there if all goes as planned.

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

TD- you are always welcome, just don't stay more than a few min. Yes I have planty of Fire Extinguishers- don't park near me please !
The Beer is Cold.

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Dont forget we tryed to use a motorhome a couple years ago Damn that was close!!

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Florida DOT is pretty lax, but the overlength permit is so cheap you might as well have it.

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

i bought one a few years ago it was 20 bucks but ive never heard of anyone having a problem.it is cheap insurance though

Re: First two Divisional races in Florida?
 

Hey Dennis,
I remember that Refridgerator Barbecue you guy's had ! That could have been ugly.
