Orlando will have Pro Winter Warmup with NHRA pro mods, Bradenton will have Heads Up Madness. Which would be more fun for a spectator? Are these all 1/4 mile? Thanks, Joel http://www.raceosw.com/dragway/Vs. http://www.bradentonmotorsports.com/head...2017%20home.htm

Don't miss the amelia island Concours d'Elegance. Not a race, but something that you have to see.

NMCA Bradenton is 9-12 March, should be a good event. Anybody else going to race? I need some competition. See you there.

Should be interesting with the NSS vs NMC classes lining up against each other!

I ended up going to the swap meet/auction/show at Lakeland saturday morning, then got to Bradenton about 1:00 PM. There was some cool cars and some good racing, but the program was excruciatingly slow for a spectator. Lots of time with nothing to watch, then a few seconds of action, then a couple hours to kill. I was surprised to see Hemis in a bunch of camaros! At about 7:30, the quick cars finished a round of eliminations, and rather than wait another hour or more for them to come back, I drove to SHowtime Speedway at Pinnelas Park and watched the figure 8 world championship. THat was awesome and exiting to watch, with a 150 lap feature. 23 cars, each braving the crossroads of doom 300 times!
