East Bay Winternationals

[Phatdaddy]

I live about half an hour away from EB so anything you need to know I can tell ya. I never bother with reserved seating, just get there a little early and sit between the flagstand and turn 1. I haven't seen many truly bad races at night there. Last year's battle with Davenport and Bloomer the one night was epic. Day races are trash. That track surface cannot, will not, ever ever be suitable for day racing. As far as non-racing, that will depend on what you like and your son's age. We have the best hockey area in the NHL here. We've got great beaches. If you like boating we've got lots of options for boat rides, dolphin watches, etc. If you like dancing girls we've got LOTS of those, and I'm kind of an expert in that field. The manatees down at the power plant are cool. If you're into history we have a couple really nice mueseums. Great food? We've got excellent restaurants and the world's biggest wine selection at Bern's. Top Golf is great fun if you like golf, or even if you don't actually...it's still a great time. Wing House is OK...there are many of them around and some are better than others. umm...anything else i'm missing?

Tell me more about the dancinig girls ?? (Asking for a friend)

LOL.....more strip clubs per sq. mile here than anywhere in the world. What do you like? Classy, dirty, (really) dirty.....we have it all.

Son is 18, graduating High School this year and heading to College next Fall. Really appreciate all the replies. How old do you have to be to go in a Strip Club in Tampa? I'd say the closest thing he has been to one is Hooters...lol

Take a ride over the sunshine skyway bridge. Visit Fort desoto and the beachs and piers there. The drive's for both of them are worth it. Busch Gardens is 12 miles north and opens at 9:30am and closes at 6pm (perfect to see the park and get back to the track before the heats,expensive tho). The Hard Rock casino isn't too far also. The State fair is across from the casino, but don't know if its the same week as East Bay like it used to be. Ibor city is a neat place as well. Also as stated above, the manatee viewing area is only about 10 miles south of the track and is FREE.
