I think Orlando has an 1/8 mile track too, which I think is where the imports go..Bradenton/Desoto is a couple hrs south down I 4 and then I 75 to SR 64 east on the other coast. Gainesville is due west of Kissimmee - also a couple hrs.

Orlando speedworld is up and running but the 1/8 mile track no longer has drag racing the city made them stop all drag race events there is still a kart track there and they hold drift events there. http://www.raceosw.com/dragway/ 70 duster full chassis super pro 416 CNC Indybrock heads 727 w/brake best so far 1.212 60 6.219 in 1/8 at 110.88 9.768 at 137.81 1/4

We get between 15 and 25 class cars and start time trials in the mornings. You can get some info about the association here: http://classracer.com/classforum/forumdisplay.php?f=26 ...or is that after your vacation ends?

I was just there a week and a half ago. Wanted to go to OldTown a few days later for friday show but it rained. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Small 1/8 mile track. It seemed kind of dumpy but I understand there have been some improvements over the years. Always had a good time when I went there, especially back in the '70s when it was an 1/4 mile track and hosted the AHRA Winter Nationals.
