They said the date would be changed to run the USAC race the week of the Daytona 500

There will be 4 days o racing next year....Racing will be Feb 22-25 with practice on Tues. the 21st...also the UMP modified's, along with the Midgets or the 1000/1200 non wing Lightning Sprints

That is what I heard too that it would be the same weekend as the Daytona 500. I will be back regadless the date. I thiink Ocala is a great track and it was a blast watching the drivers try to master that 4th turn. As far as the Garlits museum, I think it is well worth the admission price. It was fascinating, I just wonder if there is anything left in his house?

We fully intend to be at Ocala next Feb. regardless of the date in question. I just hope they don't load up with too many support classes. It seemed the show went off very well with the mods as the only support class and the track wasn't worn out by feature time.

While I enjoyed Ocala if they are going to go to 4 nights I would prefer to see them add another track for 1 or 2 nights in Northern FL or Georgia and then stay with 3 at Ocala. I agree the 2 classes is enough. Just my thought.

I don't think there really is much a split of fans. Over 3 nights at Ocala, I talked to close to 100 people, none of which said they choose Ocala over East Bay. I would say the split would involve less than 50 people.

Hopefully no more than one support class per evening. The track raced very well but more laps could hurt the racing as well as the frame of mind for sprint fans.

I'm really hoping for bigger and better things for 2012 Winternationals...3 classes is very doable here in Florida....how about a Fri./Sat./Sun. show of Non wing sprints/Midgets and Lightning Sprints at a track just a little over and hour north of Ocala the weekend before

Main reason for moving the Daytona 500 to the 26th is because the NBA All-Star fiasco is the previous weekend in Orlando. No way
with all the race fans that fly into Orlando and stay there also, that you could have both events on the same weekend. So it is
easy to see why NASCAR has to change its date...that is the only politically correct thing to do.
