Honestly I wouldnt worry too much about going offtrack at Gainsville. All of the ground around the track is compacted as well as the ground under the dirt. Theres a couple of spots down at the far end where the ground drops away from the track level about 100 feet away from the track edge. Ive personally gone off track up there at ~65mph and had no issues. lstepnio has also had a similar expierence in his WRX although at a substantially slower rate.
Check out the CFR SCCA page ( http://www.eec.com/racing ). Frank has put up the rest of the fairgrounds dates for the remainder of the year.
I run SM so Ill see you out there....

All of our O/Cs have been safe. If youd feel safer with a roll bar then so be it. I am just trying to quell any doubts you have with the safety of the site. We dont get going too fast we just carry all of that speed throughout the course. Our courses are usually 3000-3500 long and last a minute.
