The Import
Face Off drag racing and car show series just made a tour stop at the Gainesville Raceway in Alachua County,
Florida
on October 10th, 2010. We got there early when the gates opened just after 9 AM to get a good parking spot for my friend's race car. Officially, the Import Face Off event began at 11 AM and ended at 6 PM. Spectators were charged $17 to enter the event or just $15 by presenting an official flyer or one printed from the IFO website. The fee for car show contestants, competition drag racers and test & tune drag racers was $30. Only import vehicles or sport compacts are allowed in the competition classes while any make or model car, truck or motorcycle can run in the "Test & Tune" class. |
