Not much going on until a couple of weeks before the Daytona 500 in February. Most tracks end their seasons by the end of November and don't start until February. Other than USAC's deal at Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala) in late February, the winged sprints...All-Stars and WoO.... have some racing at Volusia Raceway Park (dirt)(just west of Daytona) wrapped around the Daytona event. East Bay (dirt) (Tampa area) has some local Sprint Cars mixed in with their mods, etc. around the same time frame. Best bet is to bookmark the websites of Bubba, Volusia, East Bay, Citrus County near Inverness (paved), New Smyrna Beach (paved), and Hendry County (dirt) southwest side of Lake Okeechobee. They should be posting their skeds soon. Most of the paved tracks run Open Wheel Modifieds on a regular basis along with about 10 classes of "fendered" cars. You might get to see the winged sprint 360s of TBARA if they are still in business. They are pavement cars and lightning fast. They usually run February races at Citrus County and New Smyrna. There are a couple of other tracks in northern Florida. A dirt track near Lake City and another paved track in the panhandle. There is also a paved track around Ft Myers.
