That's some good money payouts for early in the season.

Had to do some fast acting, to change our East Bay rental reservations, that we already paid for. But, got it taken care of.
Now to search for Bubba lodging, too.

It's June but this is some pretty exciting news. Kinda like a mini hell tour.

You must have made those reservations a long time ago. Had they stayed with the original, typical dates, it would have been during Super Bowl week which is in Tampa. Rooms were hard to come by even 3 months ago. Good call by the series by moving everything up one week.

Correct, we made (& paid) for our reservations in early March, when I called East Bay to get the dates.. Low and behold, the info I received ended up getting changed.

Oh well, we're all set now...

Lots of great racing to come this summer, then bring on January. :)

Sucks for the East Bay / Volusia double that we have done for the past few years.

I had to scramble and add extra days on reservations to. I also had made this past February before we left Ruskin. I made the reservations& paid in full based on Volusis dates. Will do Bubbas-but I made 2 trips in 1 this year to All-Tech. We will just chill after Bubbas & wait to head to Daytona for Volusia week.
Wonder if this is a 1 time deal because of the super bowl or the shape of things to come before East Bay closes in 4 more years??

Another question if anyone knows: does Bubba Clem still own Bubbas??

Same here. Just changed mine and got a lot cheaper than this year....go figure!

It will be great to be back at Bubbas! The best track in north Fla!

You are spot on about Bubbas- All-Tech just can’t compare.

Many people have tried to convince Wendell to make Alltech smaller, but he wont listen! Nice facility, good track prep, but the big paperclip doesn't produce good consistent racing!

Long-long straightaways & sharp turns like you said it just don’t cut it. I certainly hope this isn’t East Bays replacement Track in 4 years-??

Lancaster has long straight ways and did not disappoint last week. I like the bigger faster tracks. I do love me some East bay though.

Good track prep? I must be watching the wrong videos Zero, hehe

If you wanna stay near everything stay in Brandon near Hwy 60/ I75. Plenty of hotels and restaurants and close to the casino!

For some unknown reason, my rates dropped considerably over this year!

Rates go up Feb. 1 for the snowbirds & in Tampa for the State fair. 2011 Brunswick & Wast Bay races are all in January. My rates at Jeckel Island for the Golden Isle races were considerate lower because the dates are before February 1.
