Qualifying at 5, 6, and 7. Elimination rounds at 8:30, 9:30, and 10:30

Heads up racers, if there's ever an elimination round where you need a few more minutes to get ready, let IFO staff know!

Lets see some more of the Southeast guys at this race, the one in Jan. was packed!

Make sure you are there by 2pm/3pm latest, so you can get in the gate in a timely manner!

Gainesville Raceway has assured us there'll be 3 entrances instead of only 2 this time. Heads up racers, be at the gate at least 30 mins before open to ensure being first inside.
