Looks like highs only in the 50's today and tomorrow, hope they draw good enough so this track can be a regular stop during Florida speedweeks. There aren't a ton of candidates to "replace East Bay" in a few years and I would say this one is on the short list.

It's not necessarily cold. It's the wind that's making it cold and uncomfortable

It's the dampness in the air. After that sun goes down it's going to feel really cold. My body just aches in this type of weather :(

To quote one of my best friends....

“If the wind chill is 25, it’s 25. My body doesn’t give a sh!t about actual temperatures”.

It's 30, snow, and north wind here in Ohio. Please tell us more about these miserable temperatures and winds. It kinda turns us northern folks on!

Missing my first speed weeks trip in 10 years due to family health issue (non covid). Probably couldn't have come on a better year. Track at East Bay was crappy all week and the nice weather in Tampa didn't last very long. Now Ocala weather is pretty cold also. Hope for better things in 2022.

Ocala looks like a race track not some slick non watered junk yard.

Looked like a thin crowd. Pretty cold. Wet cold and add in the wind. Sad. I’d like to see a big crowd for this.

You got that right, I usually pack for two seasons down there, summer and winter. Saw those flags above Bubba flapping last night and was thinking the LZBoy was feeling pretty good.

Me too! Thats one of my favorite tracks and had plans to go both nights.

The temps not that bad, but that cold damp wind is unbearable for us natives! After working in it for the last two days, the couch and the big screen was mighty nice!
