Gatornationals: Hot Rodding Family Fun

The 43rd annual Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals will take place in Gainesville on March 8-11, 2012 and if you're even remotely a fan, you won't want to miss this. National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) events are famous for being one of the more family- and fan-friendly events in sports because essentially, every ticket is a ‘pit pass.’ This is unique to the NHRA (where else can you get a behind-the-scenes peek like this without shelling out big bucks or knowing someone who's really someone)? This is one of the big reasons that kids love to attend; they can meet the drivers, get their autographs and get their photo taken with the cars.
