It may be a fleeting event, but this year's Gatornationals is already helping local businesses to fill up on customers.

Day one of Gatornationals begins tomorrow and this event is already packing local hotels.

At least one hotel is completely booked up, that being the Best Western on 39th avenue.

According to the manager,  people have been coming from all parts of the country, and the hotel filled a lot quicker than last year.

Gatornationals is the third stop in the twenty-three race NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series.
