I was there in Feb 2008 for the All-Star show there. They had gotten a lot of rain the night before, so for the first night, the track was very heavy and fast. The second night was a lot better. The track dried out a bit but not bad and the racing was much better. The track does have a lot of sand in it, but it wasnt that bad. Some people call it a sh*t hole but I have seen FAR MORE worse than Ocala. Just my opinion. Turns 1 and 2 are pretty normal sweeping turns but as soon as you get out of turn 2, the backstretch goes at an angle as if you were heading toward the middle of 3 and 4 on most tracks. Then turns 3 and 4 is VERY sharp. I think it is going to make for a really interesting race as both turns are so different. I guess we will see!
