It's nothing like the ZOO at B.I.R. in Minnesota
aka: Animal Land!!! as us older ones remember the
crazy 80's into the 1990's when it was almost
canceled by the NHRA for massive over the top
party's

Gainesville Gator Nats now has a 40 acre mini zoo.
About 1/10 of the size of the Zoo at B.I.R. but
anything is better than nothing! I been to the
Gator Nats 2 times back in the 90's and I always
wonderd why they did not have camping.

Well now you have it, and enjoy it!!! It might
never get as big as the real ZOO, but there is
nothing better than camping out at a NHRA National
event. PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The campground right down the road? Or is this on on property? The one just down the road raises hell.

Sounds like it's on property.
I camped at the one 2 miles south of the track back in the '80s. Lots of fun watching people get stupid and tearing up their stuff in the big sand pit. In the first few years they opened, the wet T contest started around 1am after the strip clubs closed and the girls showed up for the contest. As always, skin to win.

BIR had a skin contest in what was called animal
land back in 1989. A bunch of us know what that
turned into!! Now it's the ZOO and some people
take the kids to watch adults act crazy, like fire
jumping. There is still pole dancing but the gals
and some guys keep there cloths on. Live band and
fire works keep the crowd from getting out of
hand.

Some in jail, some like Tabatha Stevens went on
to become adult movie stars.

HEY Big Dad,
Do you remember when BIR was called Donnybrook?
1968 to 1973 it was Donnybrook speedway. I guess
NHRA had a big race there in 1969.
