What few that can still be had are high priced.
That's interesting....

Whoa, I hadn't even considered that. Interesting. I lived here in Tampa for the last Super Bowl we had in '09 and it does get super packed around the downtown area and up to the stadium.

Screw it.... bring it up to Lancaster Superspeedway in South Carolina 😀

Have to throw Bubba Raceway Park in the mix somewhere. You never know.

No, Bubbas a close second to Eastbay!
The 2018 race was a heckuva race. Not sure what you were looking at! And yes, I was there in the pit stands!

It almost has to be bubbas if they are wanting to keep east bays portion in Florida.....that place is very unique and provides some pretty darn good racing.
Sounds like I'm in the minority here, but I love Screven for the racing.....place is really , really cool and will just continue to get better.
Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

I don’t envision Lucas going back to Bubbas.

There might be something to the hotel situation next year in Tampa.
Ima Hilton Honors member and ALL 70 affiliated hotels are SOLD OUT! Wow!!!

The 2018 version was not a good race, it had a good finish when Shepp passed Bloomer because of a late race caution. Bubbas doesn't hold a candle to East Bay and I for one have no desire to spend a week in Ocala. I was there also, did you nap for the first 45 laps, it was a one lane freight train.

Nothing will ever replace or hold a candle to east bay........

Like I said awhile ago. East Bay is similar to Eldora and a couple other places. There's a lot of history and alot of talent has crossed through the gates over the years.

Why the hate for Screven?

Was at East Bay this year and -rumor- was they are looking at another place to move 40 miles south of Tampa? Things can change but they are still there till 2024.

Not a thing. They had looked at the old DeSoto speedway property for about eight seconds, but it's now purchased and not an option.

The new owner of Desoto is not going to use the racetrack. Said he's interested in someone leasing the track!
-
I believe he was the only one who put a bid in on it. If true then that rules out East Bay having any interest in it during that time it was available

Desoto raceway was bought by a youtuber to basically use as his own "movie studio/lot" and rent out to other videographers.

No hate for screven. Great track shape with a fantastic surface, 2 groove racing, and that's as far as it goes. The place could be a premiere facility if they'd put some effort into making any kind of improvements.
