Just wrapping up our plans for Florida trip trying to decide what 10 days to go,thinking about passing up All Stars at Bubba and staying for 360s at East Bay looking back at last years car counts alot of the cars that were at all the shows or most may be missing . Right now Lasoski,Swindell ,Holtgraver and Caleb Armstrong are all without rides and Lucas Wolfe has his first race at Lincoln. Last year Austin Mccarl was in the 59 and RIP BC were there.
Did the All Stars settle the points dispute?

If it was me, I'd go to USAC too. But its not, some guys prefer wings
Also in Ocala is Don Garlits drag racing museum, excellent
Dress warm, I froze when I went there....

Lasoski has been residing in Ocala for quite awhile now. He still has his own stuff so I would be surprised if he wasn't at most of the events in his own equipment.

Coldest night of my life (I'm a Canadian who has lived in Edmonton) was at Volusia with the old track when it was dirt, leaning against Bert Emrick's Pace Truck to use the radiator to stay warm. When they finished that night (Lasoski won) there wasn't 20 people in the stands, in fact I think they introduced the crowd instead of the A-Main to save time....

Similar for me. I live in Colorado, formerly in Leadville, at 10,125 ft. America's highest incorporated town, 30 below is common, 10 month winter, never been recorded at hotter than 84. But thats dry cold. 40 degrees in Florida is really uncomfortable. I had every stitch of clothing that I brought for drive home from airport, & was still freezing

Wondering about a few things about florida. Where to stay? I know a few years back people rented houses for 10 days? Have a group 4-6 that travel to watch racing.

I am heading to Ocala for the three USAC shows. That was my Christmas gift from my wife. Going to make reservations for motel tomorrow, any of you who have made the trip before have any ideas on where I should book the room? I have an aunt and uncle who live in Tampa, but that looks a little too far to commute for three days. How about suggestions on where to eat. Thanks, hope to meet some of you there. Warm regards and best wishes.

Go to Hotels.com. They have maps, so you can see how far it is from the track, etc.
I always find something affordable at that site. After 10 stays, you get a freebie

Went to Bubba in 2015 to catch the Lucas Oil Nats opener. The only thing worse than me dropping my I-phone in the horse trough urinal was how miserably cold it was !! Absolutely froze to the point I didn’t want to drink the cold beer !! lol
