Good gosh!
I just read the 5th line down and it said 150-200 car burnouts!
I'm IN!
.......actually i'm going to clean the sweat off my glasses and
read it again........... LOL
I had a great time the other night at the USF meet. It was huge. It was well lit.
there was a variety of cars. The people running the show were friendly.
It was reminiscent of the peak of the original Riverview meets at lowes.
I even saw some of the same PEOPLE that used to go to Riverview!
--------------
For you historians, this meet is within a shift knob's throw of the Sundome lots.
In the 70's the USF Sports Car Club held night autocrosses on Friday nights.
The lots were set up with mirror image courses and people drove flat out with
headlights to guide them. The other night there were a few nostalgia cars out
at the meet from that 70's era. There were many other cars from other brands,
and even a few hot rods and trucks.
It was a different time, a different place. I suspect that we are the same
people we have always been; that the things around us change, but the people
stay the same. A hundred years ago, we would have been in the middle of a
swamp and woods shooting the bull about horses. Today we are in the middle
of a giant parking lot ............and shooting the bull about horsepower.
Folks to find this meet, enter through the USF main entrance and turn right
at the intersection where the red/blue lights are flashing from the
University State Police.............then make the next left -Bob
....and keep checking the first couple pages of TR Local Events.
