Florida 200 Governor's Cup: History

[Jimmy McKinley]

There seems to be some confusion as to whether or not the 1984 race at DeSoto Speedway *was*, in fact, the Governor's Cup race. We were there that year, but, I honestly can't recall if the Governor's Cup was awarded that year.

Wish someone would update the page here at KARNAC and at New Smyrna's Web site.
