Lakeland Thursdays

[Ford DNA]

Gates open at 4 and racing starts at 5? Is that correct?

[Ahhhh Nick!]

Yea, but more like racing starts at 6:30 and track closes every hour to clean-up the mess haha. Maybe I'll bring the GS-T out next weekend..

[DRWStanley2002]

No I think gates open at 5 and if its like the past couple thursdays they wont start running til like 7.

[Ford DNA]

The recorder said 4-11. I guess I'll just not be in any hurry to get there. Is it possible to get 6 or so runs in for a slick tire/pro tree car?

[DRWStanley2002]

That would be a big NO. The last time I ran my car out there(2 weeks ago) I was there from 6 to 10:30 and only got 3 runs in. The most runs I have ever gotten in at Lakeland is 4. Good luck.

[Ahhhh Nick!]

Ehh I got out there once at 4 and the track was actually open, just me & my buddy running alone I think 4 times without having to stop. Got like 9 runs in that night, track was shitty but so is my car...

That is extremely rare, count on getting like 3 passes.

[Ford DNA]

Well, damn. At least it's cheap. Look for the overkill of a Renegade rig. That's me. LOL

Well hope you have a good time out there. Let us know how it went. I may go out next Thursday. Didn't feel like going tonight.

[Ford DNA]

Track was crap. The waits were short, but there was nothing for traction. =(

That sucks. It seems like the track prep gets worse and worse every weeks. Hope they can turn things around out there.

[Ford DNA]

I hope so, too. It's only a 30 minute drive for us, and I've been going there for 10 years. I'd like to keep going.

[limegreenneon]

i see you talking about the renegade...you didn't take the rent-a-car or the truck out their ?

[Ford DNA]

No, just the Cobra. That's why it was overkill. LOL

[limegreenneon]

oooo i see.....So how did you do


Note to self, i have electronic deposit

[Ford DNA]

No traction.

[limegreenneon]

Nice......

[Ford DNA]

Yeah, total waste of time. We still had fun, though. ;-)

[DRWStanley2002]

So how does lakeland compare to sunshine? Is it worth the drive to go to sunshine?

[DRWStanley2002]

Yeah, total waste of time. We still had fun, though. ;-)

Thats why I didn't go out there last night.

[Ford DNA]

Even when everybody else had issues with Sunshine, my car always got down. There's no reason for my car to have traction problems. Last night was worse than Club 1320 at Bradenton. It was a slip n slide all the way down.

Sunshine is GOOD. If you get there right at opening, you can make laps. The street car lanes start getting pretty packed about 7:00.

My only complaint with going there is the drive. Not the distance, but the actual location and roads you have to take.

[DRWStanley2002]

Cool, thanks for the info. I would have to drive over from Lakeland and don't get off work til 5pm. I have talked about driving over for months and haven't done it yet. I just need to do it one wed. so and can see for myself.

[limegreenneon]

Boss Lady, Check out who is #3 in points for 6.50 class

[Ford DNA]

That's old. I'll be number 2 when they get it up. :)

[Dean Pritchard]

imo lakeland has gone downhill since dave was fired. from what i hear it use to hook but it does not anymore

[Ford DNA]

That's old. I'll be number 2 when they get it up. :)

Well now they're up, but they aren't right. Rob O. should have 144 points, I should have 100, and George should have 91, I think. I should be ahead of George.

[DRWStanley2002]

Is it true that Lakeland is going to be closing at the end of the month?

[peskyo]

bump i would like to kno to if lakeland is closing

[TurboMe]

Thats cool. I think we should plan a Lakeland road trip one wed. :D

[Ford DNA]

The current lease is up at the end of the month, I think. After that, who knows. I doubt it'll close, though..too many people interested in buying it or leasing it.

I should just go ahead and buy the place ;)

[Ford DNA]
