    It's Saturday nite w/o racing, Can we talk about moving FL dates again?

    I know many of yall don't like change, but we can support Volusia without the Nascar crowd & the prices that go with it!! I've said it's as simple as switching East Bay & Volusia, if we must have the same dates!! But we could adjust the dates a little, without even losing a race!! And for the record, we do Volusia and Daytona both!!

    I like that plan. Switch East Bay and Volusia (although which track will take over when East bay closes?)Daytona needs bulldozed (except for Rolex 24 and some other road racing during the year).

        What’s your plan with the other classes that race at Eastbay and Volusia during that time?

          Like he said, there are many tracks racing across the South in Feb. Just shuffle them around! Run Screven and Golden Isles, instead of East Bay then! Against Daytona. Many scenarios!

            I’m sure of the many scenarios, but with as many tracks running. Everybody would have to agree, that’s hard to do in this world. IMO, I like the way it’s set up, but I’m more of a traditionalist.

            I’m worried about what’s gonna replace Eastbay in a few years, than anything else. Not a big fan of All Tech, mostly because those guys run Volusia and Golden Isles, which is also hard on motors.

              Maybe i'm asleep at the wheel but I don't see a issue with the current schedule ...both tracks (EB and Volusia) have excellent crowds every night .. I would be concerned about what replaces East Bay if that does indeed happen.

                  Screven is dead. He Tryed paying big dollars and thought guys in florida would come up north. Well, I know it was under 30 cars . Not having WoO sanctioning hurt. The place is not run professionally at all.

                    If EB goes away, it’ll probably end up at All Tech, but the Lucas portion of Speedweeks will lose most of its luster, unfortunately. In a perfect world, when East Bay goes away, the conversation about co-sanctioning should happen again, and Volusia could hold all the races.

                      ^^^Yeah. There is no track available that can replace East Bay.

                        Bubbas a close second. I hope he gets his act together this year!

                          i as well thought bubba's might get part of the east bay days when it closes. I always thought the racing was decent when they kept it wet

                            Bring Lucas Winternationals to Hendry County Motorsports Park. If they gonna come to FL they might as well come to the southern most dirt track in the U.S

                              Bubba might be a close second to all tech but it doesn't hold a candle to East Bay. The last Lucas race there was in 2018 and the parking lot at East Bay was prepped better than the track at Bubba.
