Thanks,

I think there are only 4 dirt tracks left in Florida. Volusia, East Bay, Ocala (back to dirt after several years as pavement), and a track around Lake City where the All Stars did an event last year. In addition to the previous posts, you can see some pretty good pavement racing at New Smyrna before Daytona in Feb. They run 9 nights on a high banked half. The TBARA winged (360) sprinters put on a good show there. They also run some extremely fast mods. Kyle Bush ran one last year until he "got behind in his steering" and hit the wall. Dates are up on their website. There are several (nearly) weekly pavement tracks operating during the winter. We go some Sat nights to Citrus Co (Inverness) Speedway. $9 for seniors and they may have 6 or more classes from fast mods to 4cyl junkers. They'll run a TBARA show in Feb too. 3/8 high banks.
