Mr. Quinn very aptly covered just about everything but I'll chime in with several of my own observations.

In regards to the facility it's gets an A rating from us. The food is pretty standard racetrack fare and not overpriced relative to other dirt tracks. The bar area where you can get a bottle or a glass of beer and hang out for a while is a great touch that we took advantage of all three nights. And again, not overpriced in comparison to other dirt facilities.

As I told those in our crowd at the time, the racing entertainment bar was set so high the first night it would have been nearly impossible to top that or even equal it. That left the 2nd and 3rd night open for a bit of a let down. Whatever they did differently in reference to track preparation Friday and Saturday nights it didn't seem to be as conducive to the manic, chaotic racing that prevailed in the feature on Thursday evening. But as I said the bar had been set awfully high right off the bat. This is a track that seems to have been made for the top division sprinters and the racing I've seen over the last 5 nights going back to last February rivals some of the best we've seen up here.

Track management is to be commended for the free camping policy. As was earlier stated, most in attendance were from up North and had already spent a pretty good wad just getting down there and this eased the monetary pain a bit. We were staying in my Wife's family's camping unit and they are from near Daytona so we hadn't had the long drive down there but it was still great to be able to camp for free.

Regular parking and ingress and egress to the track property seemed to go very smoothly, as well.

This is the second year in a row that we've made the trip to Florida for this series of races and will continue to go as long as the wingless sprinters run at Bubba and I can get there to watch them in February.

Just a final note, it was great that the track ownership and USAC were able to get past the nastiness which occurred in February of 2012. This deal smacks of a traditional opening to the USAC Sprint Car season that has the potential to grow into a highly anticipated early season event.
