I'm not familiar with the area, and it is about an hour and a half drive for me to get there. Could you guys recommend another exit or area to get gas before I get there?

Thanks.

Im coming from the north, Spring Hill taking veterans to 275 South.

 

I'm not familiar with the area, either. I went South on 41 past 275 for a few miles and found a 7-Eleven with gas last night. There might be something closer in some direction, but I know that one is there.

 

You're starting to sound like me Loren.... what gives???

 

Hehe... too much stress, not enough sex.

 

There is not much around that area at all -

It's either south on 41 to Bradenton - a few gas stations that way (and about 5 miles) or north on 41 about the same - and not sure of the quality of the gas stations that way. (I know there is a big raceway or similiar south)

Here's the cell phone tower where the track is...

 

and the track is pretty skinny - and looks like a Malibu GP course!

Looking forward to it - too bad we don't all have shifter karts and we could do a little wheel to wheel!

 

Dude, you need to clean your windshield.

The track is narrow, but not THAT narrow. A few of the instructors went out for about an hour last night. Jamal and I practiced passing and found that there was plenty of room for a safe point-by pass in our two passing zones. No worries.

My biggest problem tomorrow: Seeing past the bags under my eyes, cuz there's no way I'm gonna sleep tonight.

 

I'll have bags with you... Oh - and it definitely looks VERY technical - more autocross course from hell than sebring - but looks like it will be a blast. Thanks for putting this together.

 

Looks like a ton of fun, can't wait. I'm still deathly afraid of breaking an axle again so far from home. I spent two hours last night under the car checking everything I could...for the third time. If something breaks this time I'm selling the damned car.
