Hey Crazycat,
I race FTR XC. Florida Trailriders.
Its a huge organiztion and I can tell ya that the drive is worth the trip to every race.
There are several members from Ga and the Jacksonville area.
YOu can also run the GNCC series too.
There will be a GNCC in Florida in March north of Daytona.
Then the next GNCC after that will be in Ga.
Go to
www.gnccracing.com to get the info.
Check out the FTR website when the next race is. Its not this weekend as there is a GNCC in Tx this weekend.
But the next weekend after that is FTR and its in Chipley, Fl.
Its on the other side of Tallahassee. It would be easy for you to take I-10 straight accross.
Your first race will be expensive.
40.00 for race.
40.00 FTRmembership
40.00 AMA card if its an AMA sanctioned event. They will let you know at the race if you need a card or not. If you need one you can get there.
20.00 for transponder, you will get that back if you return the transponder.
Sign up is from 7-9 am Sat. Then 930 practice for quads.
330 pm is race time.
Most people show up Friday night and camp out.
80% sleep in RVs or trailers but the do have a no generator area if you want to tent it.
There are always hotels nearby too.
There is a forum on the FTR site to ask more questions or jsut PM me and I can help you out.
YOu are more than welcomed to park next to us if you want help getting through the ins and outs at the first race so you are not so alone sort of speakiing.
Everyone at the races will help you out if just ask.
Its not like the jetski races I used to be in where everyone is so stuck up.
Hope you can make it.
We will also have a few more races at Gatorback and Hardrock. Which are fairly close to you.
The longest ones will be the ones down by Occeechobee.
Hope I was of some help.
