Taking the Challenge at Gainesville Raceway
June 4, 2006
As I drove through the gate into the parking lot, I felt rather disoriented. During the Gatornationals drag races, this entire area of the Gainesville Raceway is taken up with pro team pits, cars, trailers, Nitro Alley, the Nitro Mall and assorted vendor booths. Tonight I was there to see a National Dragster Challenge and Jr. Dragster Challenge, and I could practically drive up into the bleachers. There certainly wasn’t a line for the bathrooms or to buy a burger at the Hot Rod Grill, either. But that was OK; my $10 entry fee was still a “pit pass” so I could see how the younger and non-pro racers spent a Saturday night at the drags.
