Goodbye winter and hello spring (I hope) for nine days. I'm flying down on the 13th for the All-Stars, next three nights with the Outlaws, a couple races at New Smyrna, maybe a night of taxi-cabs back at Volusia and then the first two nights of USAC at Ocala. Never done a pure racing trip this long before and have never been to Volusia. Saw an All-Star race at Ocala 20 years ago when it was still a road course. Who else is heading south?

Tom we are doing..Feb. 8th Screven Georgia 10,000 to win Open Late Model Show(WoO) cancelled because of tire rule, 9th Northern Florida Speedway Late Model Show, 10-15th Lucas Oil Late Models at East Bay, 16th-18th Visiting friend in New Smyrna (golfing, beach, beer), USAC at Bubba's 19th-22nd.

Hey, Pine, that sounds like a nice trip. I'll see you at Ocala for sure. Let me know if you want some excellent laid back seafood/beer places as my wife and I have vacationed for years at Madeira Beach and know of some great places along the coast at St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Indian Rocks Beach, etc. Myself and two friends are staying at the Holiday Beach Resort Motel at Daytona Shores for a week and then I'll do a solo trip to Ocala. Planning on going to New Smyrna Speedway on the 17th and 19th for mods and super late models. Give me your cell phone number if you want and maybe we can meet at a joint and you can buy me a beer! HA HA

I'm hitting at least the first part of Volusia for sure. Not sure what I will do the latter part of the week between Volusia, Daytona, New Smyrna & East Bay. Looking forward to some mighty fine eating in Tampa also. All of USAC at Ocala and then head home.

Flying down on the 20th for the Duels(Thur) Trucks(Fri) and late models(sat)at Volusia. Guys I'm going down with have never been to Daytona so I'm gonna suffer thru it I guess.I would rather play in the dirt but I probably shouldn't complain.Upside is four days of golf. Everyone travel safely.

just doing latemodels at east bay this year and look for place to live down there over this weather up here

If you go south don't forget Tom & Kelly Bayless live down there and loves seeing old friends from the frozen tundra.

You're cheating by taking a full month, Wayne. Shame on you.

First six nights at Volusia is on tap again. We usually stay in Deland at the Clarion. Chow at the Brickhouse downtown - killer wings.

I also took the liberty of bumping another thread of the list I made of the Winter events down that way. Please add/subtract from it if you have more info.
