I also just saw on Facebook that it's cancelled? Is that right?

I didn't have any luck finding anything. Not trying to stir up trouble. Just need answers.

Also, I get a 404 error with that link too

You'll need to mail in your Challenge entry form. It can be downloaded here.

You'll also need to turn in your Challenge Vehicle Information Form at registration when you arrive at the event.

Full details can be found on the $2012 Challenge Page.

Well, I guess I can trust that. Lol. When is the deadline to mail the form in?

The event is NOT canceled. Could be Gainesville Raceway was changing around or removing their event listings on FB, and if so, it would've auto-generated a notice that anything listed was "canceled."

Deadline to enter is September 1, and you can access the form by clicking HERE. (I also fixed the incorrect link above.)

And thanks for the heads-up, Gasoline. We'll follow up with the hotel.

I will say when I booked my room a little while ago, it said 1 room was left.....Could just be a Best Western scare tactic.

Nope, just spoke to the Best Western - they have lots of rooms right now. You can't book it over the internet, though. You have to call the hotel directly (352-331-3336) and say it's for the Grassroots Motorsports block. It's an $89 a night room rate too.

Not true. I don't know how you got that message (and neither does the track) but Gainesville Raceway still has the Challenge on their schedule.

Thanks! I will give them a call directly and get in the GRM block.

PS: That worked and was $46.00 a night cheaper. Thanks again. T

Those last two are far more important than the first.
