We have been playing Russian roulette having the races in September with all the Hurricanes we been experiencing lately.

 

The great news is the race has been deemed a Premier event by the IRRA Bod and we look forward to seeing everyone that can make it this year.

 

You are not going to want to miss this year's event with action on both tracks and some of the best racers in the country.

I know Ed stays busy so I'll jump in ..... Ed hosted the GRRR race this past Sunday (2/23.)

 

If you just want to get some track time .... Ed is hosting the Florida Slot Car Series (FSCS) Flexi cars on Saturday, March 8th.

We are open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Fridays from 5:00PM - 9:30pm and Saturdays from 11:30AM - 5:00PM.
Any of the weekday nights the Hillclimb track is always available since all of our races are on the Tri-Oval. Saturdays all of our races are on the Hillclimb track.
Wednesday nights we drag race so both tracks are available for practice.
