I've only been in pits at ponderosa, so not sure. Florence sells beer but I think you can carry in small cooler at florence. I personally like both tracks florence doesn't mess around once they start, your usually out of there half way early

Didn't care for format if same race I seen couple years ago. Top 6 qualifiers get front 3 rows. Think race was split with OMG series race

It's a Ray Cook race so he will be sure to discourage any kind of passing or entertainment for the fans.

Wish they'd leave that format with them down south.

I've always been a fan of Florence. I've never been to Ponderosa. But you won't be disappointed with the racing at Florence. Its always been a good show when I've been there. I've seen a lot of good races there. I used to go to the Spring 50, North/South and the Fall 50 every year. Haven't been in a few years tho.

Believe me, Ray Cook's snooze-fest format could make even the best tracks boring as hell.

It's a crying shame that Florence thinks that they need this poor format series for such a race. When Florence uses their passing points format, they have the best racing in the world. Why do they downgrade their racing for these bigger events? They even use passing points for the North South now, but not the $5,000 shows.

I've been to this race every year that they've had it and they don't use Ray'/ format. They have qualifying and heats like any other normal series.

I've never been to a Ray Cook Sanctioned event so I wouldn't know much about that part of it. But I do know that almost every race I've been to at Florence has been a good show.

For the Florence format, we will have a Dash for the fastest four qualifiers, Heat Races, a Last Chance Race and the 50-lap $5,000 to win Main event, the same format we used in 2014 when we were there. The 2015/2016 event was cancelled due to weather. Friday's format features a 40-lap Feature event at Ponderosa paying $4,000 to win.

Is this payout for B-Mods?
