Weather in Florida

If you are coming to Florida and have not been here in February, you might consider bringing more warm clothing than you would for the same temperatures in Indiana. I have only been as cold when the temperature was 53 twice, once at Southern New Mexico Speedway just west of Las Cruces and last Friday at Bubba's. One was a dry cold and one a damp one, so I can't explain it. Given the long range forecast, New Smyrna Beach could be really brisk and refreshing.

The last week in Florida has been refreshing. Even though the weather is iffy, it still beats Indy. Pants and long sleeve at night is sufficient. Expect fast times at New Smyrna. Pullin' for BC and K Hamilton. Hopefully weather cooperates.

Frank, you just described why I sold alot of Hoosier sweatshirts and jackets at Volusia back in the early 1990's. All the fans coming over from watching Nascar in the afternoon would show up in short sleeve shirts and shorts and wonder why they were cold.

Enjoy your time down there Frank and stay warm.

Years ago we ran Jacksonville in early February. It was -2 when we left Indiana. The night of the race the temp was 45 in Jax and I really think I felt warmer in the Hoosier state at -2 !

Looks like 70's and 80's next week with lows in 50's. The Outlaw fans would love to have that right now at Volusia.
