I used to feel that way, but the run/work order is great. You get to work early before it gets hot, you have a two hour lunch, then you can watch the old men shag cones at the hottest part of the day while you run!
The best part is beating many of them in a cheap econobox!

hmmm. If the poopra isn't ready the cavalier may just make one final appearance at an autox.

Unfortunately it won't make it this time. I just found out I have some relatives that will be in town this weekend. Oh well.

Frankly, I'd rather pound one of my nuts flat with a hammer than attend another VCC event...

It's a shame the lot is so tiny and the surface is so terrible... The paddock and spectator areas are so nice!

Yeah, the spectators have a great vantage point up on the plateau. Merge that with the Ft. Myers surface, the facilities at Martin's new site, and now we're talkin'.

Everone in Tampa should be driving a few extra miles per week doing some scouting. We're in danger of going from November to June w/o any CFR events within 2 hours.

I want to know what Busch Gardens is going to do with the HUGE paved area they're not using for parking any more...

It looks like they're parking everyone in the lots off the road, and not using the ones that run paralell to the road almost down to Adventure Island... That surface wouldn't be too bad with a little bit of cleanup

Tell us how you really feel.

I have only been to one VCC event. They had blowers to take care of the gravel. I had fun there.

It's not like Z-hills surface is any better. You know it's bad when you have trouble getting traction on your launch with 100 ft/lbs of torque. Plus their course designs are rather uninspired ala Sebring.

I think proximity and free lunch is the only thing z-hills has going for it.

The Z'Hills surface? Which one? They have 5 year old asphalt, 10 yr. old, 15 yr. old, and 20 yr. old. No two cuts are the same, that's for sure. Do they do lunch? I can't remember.
