Florida events in May...?
I will be vacationing in orlando may 18-25th, and I saw that there are two events in FL. on the weekend oif the 17th. One Nopi in Tampa, and one NHRA in Gainesville.
So, lets say that I could convince the wife to let me go to one of them, which one should I go to? and how long of a drive is it from Orl, to Tampa or Gainesville?
anybody going to be at either of these races?

If you wanna watch real racing i think NHRA would be the better choice. i would drive the extra hour to see all the Big Boys. I will be at NHRA gainsville. I got a part time job as event staff from NHRA sport compact and let me say, NHRA sport compact guys are not only professional but great to hang out with.

So many rules for the saftey of you and the people there. NHRA is the BEST most professional sanctioning body. Rules are there not for NHRA's sake but for the sake of you and everyone else. This is what divides the ricers fron the real RACERS.i know rules arte tough but its there for a reason.

Orlando to Gville is less than 2 hours and Orlando to Tampa is less than 1h30m
Nopi is aware of this at the present moment, but screw up when it was press release.

Last year when NHRA came to Gainsville, the AEM Civic was shock when they got walk by a '80 "no-big sponser local" Corolla coupe' . But then again, RWD vs FWD I don't consider fair in my book.

Not really, I know Nopi is paying more than NHRA, so alot of the big boys do tend to go towards who pays more. Either way, for the past 5 years, 90% percent of the time when the big boys visit Florida, they end up going home win-less/or scratching their heads. Alot of the Puerto Ricans teams usaully gives them a run for the money as well with locals. Same thing in New Jersey.
