Not much on the outside, but a very nice room with good Wifi, refrigerator, microwave, very comfortable bed, etc. Phone # is 863-983-4115.
Even though it rained out the first night last year and there were only 16 sprints, I had a good time. Hope more sprints go down this year. Excellent track food. Where else can you get fried gator tail bits (and no, they don't taste like chicken, they taste like gator). Their track food is provided by several local businesses and all of it looked good.
If you go, a piece of advice based on what I saw last year. Do not throw rocks at the cute, small gators in the drainage ditch which is by the side of the track. While you can see the babies, you can't see their mommies, and mommy is a lot larger and doesn't like for people to bother her little ones. Not only does that anger them, but I was told it is mating season in February. You probably don't want a cranky, horny momma gator after you.
Hope to see lots of IOW members at Hendry County in February.
remember thier eyes are red at night,the farther the red eyes are apart the bigger the gator:2:
