      Speedworld, by a mile.

      Its a great size and shape, smooth and racey, and I love the Friday night schedule.

      I wish they would use the bandolero track for something other than bandoleros, like motorcycles for example. The figure 8 track needs to be widened and USED.

      Speedworld all the way.

            Saramana Speedbowl Asphalt closed in 1976 I think it was.
            Some of my fondest memories of racing are there.

            Eastbay Dirt

                I was going to answer this but don't know what criteria to use. What makes a racetrack if it isn't management, personalities, and officials?
                As a spectator watching racing, I like Eastbay on dirt with Ocala a close second, and Citrus on Asphalt. They provide the best racing, in my opinion.
                As for a racing facility, NSS is a great facility and I also like OSW. But I haven't seen great racing at either. On dirt, facility wise would be Ocala and then East Bay.

                      Id say Orlando Speed World went there last friday and really like the track you get a great view of all the track from the stand and if you want you can turn around and watch the drag. Nss could be a great track just because people sponser the track dont mean they should get away with stuff techs check these cars out it would make for closer racing, its boring watch one or two car leave the whole in ever class no one want to watch that

                        1. New Symrna
                        2. Desoto
                        3. Citrus
                        4. Bronson
                        5. Punta Gorda
                        6. Auburndale

                        Going to Speedworld Friday night and from what everybody tells me that place is like a sheet of silk compared to the other tracks surface wise. All the tracks have their own special things but I would have to say New Symrna and Desoto are the best from a driving standpoint IMO.

                            This is GREAT!!!! Now keep in mind you are not looking at "a" show but overall track. Let's say a dream team....if there is such a thing LOL... came in and ran the show.

                            Love the input!!!!!

                              My first love....

                              ....was, like Bob, Saramana.

                              But I was just a little boy when they closed so I never got to race there. But watchin' my Dad and all my other heroes (at the time) race there was what got me through that long week of school til Saturday night!

                              One of my favorite places to drive was, believe it or not, the old 1/4 mile inside the 5/8's mile at Lakeland. Back before they built that boring ass 3/4 mile parking lot. Those were some fun times.

                              An can't forget about Desoto (not super) Speedway back in the 80's and early 90's.....we always had a blast there. Win or lose it was always a good time. DS used to be the crown jewel of race tracks in Florida. I don't know what happened to her these last 20 years. See what happens when you blink?

                              Oh well.
                              Now we just race our wheelchairs around a fishtank at the old fogies home.


                              I always run a distant 4th.
