      I think you are right on the route number. Man that was mistake....I couldn't imagine bringing a rig down that road. So much for the shortest distance huh? Lol

I didn't have a phone with GPS at the time. So I went left and turned at the first road that went left after that and it brought me back 75 with some food joints. The road would be awesome on a bike, not so fun in a car haha.
        yes either way but after hour and 10 minutes wait to even get to 42.

          I'm talking about going out left out of race track, not even heading towards Florence city direction, I'm guessing you are talking about heading back to Richwood? That maybe what Talon is talking about. I don't know any routes, I just know how to get there and home haha. Either one of those ways are goat paths, and are not meant for semis at all.

              I am looking forward to it also, this will be my first time going to Florence. Just hoping for good weather and great racing. As you guys were talking about earlier, I went to Eldora so many times that we haven't been back since 09, we have tried other races like World Finals, Silver Dollar Nat's, and now Florence. I enjoy seeing the different tracks and what they have to offer. Sometimes you get stuck in a groove and never quit and you are missing out on other great places as well.

                Hell yeah, finally got through to the ticket office this morning and got some good looking seats up in Section J. Better late than never on that discounted price. Gonna be a long six days of work before I head north next Friday morning.

                  I always set in the general admission seats on the back stretch. I like the view better down close. nothing at florence to hinder your view down low

                        I can remember one bad race in about the last 8 or 10 years since I've been going. The year Shaver won wasn't the greatest race, but it was ok. 2012 was a bad race. Instead of reading stuff here, it's better to see them in person.

                              great racing=Florence speedway. Even if the leader gets out there, the racing through the pack is great. The Latham was a very entertaining race from second on back. JD had them covered, but none the less it was a worthwhile experience. The only train race in my many years of going there was the 2006 race. None before and none since at the big events. Taking the Richmond Exit off 75 eliminates the RT 42 experience of getting to the track. try to map it out and save the eight miles of grief on 42.
