Don’t bother with the track’s strawberry shortcake. Drive to plant city during the day to parkesdale market. You won’t regret it.2023 Races - WoO at TST -
Blasphemy......Where is the move over flag when you need it?????Comment

Are you camping there or staying somewhere else and going daily. Get there rather early because parking can be tough. The last few years they parked more and more campers where regular parking used to be.2020 race count:
1/2 of an eventComment

I've been there at least 20 times and the best advice is to arrive early on Fri. and Sat. cause the parking gets a little scarce. Early in the week it's not too bad. The area around the Brandon Mall/Brandon Blvd/E.Adamo Dr./Causeway Blvd. has about every food option you can think of. The East Tampa/Temple Terrace areas are not the best parts of town. If your there on the Sunday for practice head up to the Brandon Hooters for the Super Bowl, always some drivers and their teams there. I've made a ton of racing friends that I've met at East Bay and see through out the year when racing starts up north. The shortcake has developed a bit of shrinkage over the years.Comment

Oh, its still good but the Parkesdale family is one of the largest strawberry growers in the country. Their 'cake" is homemade similar to pound cake!Originally posted by Barbecueboy View Post
I still eat the tracks, but if im driving around I go to Parkesdale!Comment

Check out the Fish House- south of the track in Ruskin. It’s a roadside fish/shrimp camp. Walk up to order & eat on pic-nic tables. It’s not cheap but it’s awesome food!Comment

Check the weather before you leave home. I've been there in shorts and a tee shirt. I've also been there in a carhart with the hood up! Just don't miss it. Only five years left.Comment

Bring lots of cash! EastBay prices are some of the highest you will incur for watching racing!Comment
