WoO Sprints are going to give it a try at Volusia for a couple of nights in early March. It is advertised to note that it is "Bike Week" so I guess there ARE tourists there that they might reel in. I am thinking that this attempt at this time of the year might be a first. Good luck to them if they can make a buck off of it.
