One more thing came to mind in regards to things to do while in Florida.

On February 12th the previously and numerously mentioned Racing's North Turn restaurant will sponsor and host the North Turn Legends Beach Parade. This parade is on the beach and consists of racecars that competed in the old beach/road course races held from 1935 through 1958. We've attended this event several time over the years and it is well worth the effort. I can't stress enough for you to get there EARLY. The restaurant will be serving breakfast starting at 8 AM.

Given that you are obviously a race fan and this is a very cool event for a race fan that draws a big crowd. I would recommend taking this in if at all possible.

Good places to eat in Flager Beach.

Hijackers is right beside an airport runway and has great food and drinks.

Johnny D's Beach Bar and grill has pizza balls a must try plus other great food..

Funky Pelican has a deck right over the water on the beach with great food.

One eating establishment I forgot to mention is the restaurant in the Deland Airport. They have the reputation for serving the best burgers and every time we've been there they lived up to their rep! There is a lot to see in and around the airport if you're an aviation buff. The place isn't very big but the burgers are excellent! Some touring circus's winter near the airport and occasionally one of them is set up and open for business. The Deland Airport is just north of U.S. 92 (International Speedway Blvd.) on the east side of Deland. You can see it from 92.

As mentioned, Don Garlits museum is a MUST see. I found many midwest displays that brought back times past. The Exxon gas station directly in front of the museum has "Tom's Cuban on the go". The best cubano sandwich this side of Key West and always dinner for me heading north to Bubba. Enjoy your racing!

I guess that means the "Cycle Inn"is now closed.

When in Ocala check out Sam's St. John Seafood at the same exit as the track. Coming off I-75 go straight at the light to turn to track and it is in shopping center on left about a mile up the road. Good seafood at a reasonable price.

2 things:
A) Bring warm clothes just in case... it can get BITTER cold in "The Sunshine State" in February!
B) As mentioned previously, Don Garlits Museum! BY FAR the best drag racing museum...
