Orlando Street Car Shootout 09

Well......It's that time of the year again....and....the downturn in the economy is very evident by the amount of cars and spectators that showed up......In years past it would take 45 minutes to get in the track as the traffic getting in would be off on the shoulder of highway 50 and the line would be a mile or two long.......Got there this morning and drove right in and was the second car in line....After walking thru the Pits it seems the car count is down probably 50%......But...Last year it rained and sorta ruined the event..Today was Hot,(in the 90's) Sunny, and Humid.......Perfect Florida weather.........It also seems that Turbo Cars are now the Favorites.....Low Qualifier (Turbo Mustang) ran a 6.27@235 Friday night and 6.32 in the Heat....Here are some Pic's
