    Any driver that is in reasonable distance will be in Fla if at all possible.
    Ones that say this and that about not coming, just can't do it for some reason.
    Going to Ga is good, but nothing like Fla.

      Thats quite an attitude you have... You must race for fun and have lots of money to just throw away. While I respect those who run speedweeks and look forward to it, I do NOT attempt to judge those who don't. Ask any of the big name guys who run Fla, it "IS" a money losing venture, even for the winners...

            We went to Screven and Eastbay last year. Ran 7 nights of racing, made 5 shows. The trip cost $15k with no paid help. Made about $4k in purse money, for a nice loss of $11k. Its a costly trip. Tires absolutely kills u at Eastbay, pit passes are high, diesel fuel, low purses, etc....Without big pockets you can really put a dent in your racing budget in Florida. I understand why many stay away even though they would love to be there.

              Jonezy is exactly right. The tire budget for this trip alone is crazy, a lower
              tier team can seriously put the rest of there season in jeopardy just to try
              and make the race at speedweeks.

                A man has got to know his limitations, & how deep his wallet is.

                Screven is the last stop for good ol red clay, easy on tires....
