Gatornationals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gatornationals is an annual National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) national drag racing event held each March at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida. The event was held for the first time in 1970, and the 37th time in 2008.[1]
The term "Gator" came from the University of Florida's sports team, which is located near the track.[1] The race is traditionally the third event of the season and the first event on the East Coast of the United States.[1]
