I know absolutely nothing about this deal, but I've known of a number of cases over the 40 years I've been going to winter shows in Florida, where some "promoter" leased a track, neglected to buy good insurance and/or was unable to come up with the purse. Please make sure that everything is up to Indiana standards before you commit to running this. Since it's 3 hours from Tampa, I don't think it's going to hurt the crowd at East Bay, which is a good thing. I worked some midget shows many years ago which were hurt by some shady characters running underfunded, underinsured shows nearby.

Link to tons of photos-looks like it just opened or reopened last year.

According to good old Mapquest that is 210 miles from East Bay.
Roughly 3 hours and 50 minutes one way. If you have already driven to Florida, what is a few more hours to catch two nights of non-wing sprint cars in the middle of winter.

Hope the purse is decent.
