 Volusia WOO 2016
Folks, if you ever get a chance to go to the Dirt Car Nationals (WOO) at Volusia, I highly recommend you go. I attend several late model races every year, Eldora, Portsmouth, EAMS, Batesville, Atomic, Smoky Mountain, Rome, Dixie, Tazewell, Florence. etc. The show at Volusia is second to none, they keep the show moving, they start on time, they have the track in shape, they get it done by a decent hour, no down time, extra porta potties, great competitive racing, just 2 classes, its just a fantastic place to go watch a race.

I agree! If I'm going to Florida for winter racing I'm going to Volusia.

East bay is the same! Done by 9:30 each night!

I go to both places and Volusia kicks East Bays azz in every way. Quality and quantity of racing, car counts, seating, concessions, and value of admission. That is unless one thinks the Strawberry Dash equals all the extra racing Volusia offers each night with more late model heats and the best UMP Mods and Big Block Mods in the country.

I do too! The car count at Eastbay was terrible. I wont be surprised if Eastbay cuts back next year!

This was our second trip to Volusia ..... I only made the last 3 nites ....I split my time with the St Augustine beach ( about an hour drive ) to the speedway .... Friendly people - clean RR's and great racing .... I prefer the ump mods over the Big Blocks Like last year better because I see some regulars from up north there .... Hope to do it again next year ....

We go there every May, and stay a week on crescent beach. Love that area.

45 years and it keeps getting better. Dirtcar Nationals does a great job year in and year out. Great car counts for the Supers and ground pounding Big Blocks. Racing is great! Will be back next year.

Went last year and loved it. We stayed on the beach in Daytona. The weather was kinda chitty, just cold, but it was still better than what was going on at home at the time.

South Beach Grill is really good as is O'steens. If you go to O'steens though take cash unless it's changed recently that's all they take. Mojo's old city BBQ downtown is really good too.

East Bay is short track tight racing and it is known to tear up racecars. I think both places produce good racing. I race at both these tracks during the season and Volusia is not near as good during the regular season as it is during speedweeks. It is still good but not as good. Us locals can't afford to race on it that heavy every weekend so it's generally pretty slick. John 1*

The Volusia week, or at least the back end of it, is definitely on my dirt bucket list. One of these years.
