I made my 22nd consecutive year to East Bay for the SLM's and looking forward to making it 23. Camped eight nights across from track in the corner with old friends and made a few new ones. We drove out to Plant City (Parksdale Farm)
twice for the best strawberry shortcake ever, also made the trip to the steam plant for the manatees, the most I had ever seen, and by the way, I thought the racing was great.

We saw the manatees as well. I will have to go to plant city next year. We did not go there. East bay was so much fun and the strawberry shortcake was excellent.

Still one night left. While in Fla. we've seen 2 national midget shows, 3 dirt late model shows and 3 national wingless sprint car shows (counting tonight). 3 of those 8 nights of racing were hampered by rain and a couple of those 8 really couldn't be classified as great shows but it's dirt racing in February while we're getting a blizzard or two and some sub zero weather at home. Walk the beach in the morning and dirt racing every night? Don't get much better than that!!

Hope everyone gets back to their work-a-day reality without incident and hope we all can do it all again in 2023!!!

I agree. Great times. I also enjoy being able to go to beaches during the day and watch racing at night. Lots of stuff to do all around in Florida.

Mark Richards has already given Madden a deal on his next chassis to not continue on WOO tour sealing another easy championship for the 1 car. Maybe.

The same thing was said on here the last time Madden ran the WoO schedule. Sheppard was in trouble, blue 1 won’t beat madden, etc.

Madden always runs good at Volusia. Let’s come back to this comment in July.

Things will pick up once it gets warmer and the beer flows a little more freely.

Thanks for the heads up, fastford. We have friends in that neck of the woods and we're scheduled to visit them before we head back home. We'll give Tarpon Springs a look see.
