I don't know about either of these tracks but Orlando Speed World is having a Southern Stock & Super Stock Association race on 11/12 and a semi private test & tune for $100 per car that day. I've done that before and there aren't a lot of class cars and you can pretty much make as many runs as you want. I know I'm going weather permitting.
Oh and it will be full 1/4 mile instead of just 1/8.

This place has it's pro's and con's (and there are many) but I'm not living anywhere else except maybe for Aruba. They have a dragstrip there.

any more it is getting to be more con's than pro's I cant wait to get the he!! out of this dump. 
Very true. I wouldn't want to live south of highway 50. I live in Volusia county where it's still pretty rural, like the Florida of yesteryear. The one good thing of the economic down turn is that they aren't developing the rural landscape at a pace that would make even a rain forrest inhabitant cringe.

The one good thing of the economic down turn is that they aren't developing the rural landscape at a pace that would make even a rain forrest inhabitant cringe.
only way I would want to stay is get about 10 acres out in the middle of a 100 acre patch that wouldn't be developed any time in the near future.
Even then I think I would rather get out of this state all together.
Its getting pretty hard to communicate with anyone when you only speak English LOL
That is getting to be just about everywhere. It's not bad up here, yet, but I can see the writing on the wall. I go to Miami several times a year for training and although I like visiting there, I wouldn't want to live there. I have to stick to the major places as if you go to a small store no one speaks english. I have to take one of the locals from the class with me.

Should I revive that consideration of the 5 acres with a pole-barn on it .... that is a HALF MILE frome the Bradenton track ? ...
 Although Bradenton is a good track it's blistering hot out there even in May. I'm not especially fond of that area either but to each their own. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say they don't like where I live either, but I do and that's all that matters.

Record run show like in the past at Thanksgiving? Maybe some SS/AH cars?

There may be, I don't know. This is not an NHRA race, these are an association of racers both NHRA and IHRA but you don't have to belong to the association to run their race so any stock or super stock car is welcome to race.
