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!
