Default Visiting Racer Help

Hi,

I live in the UK but going to Orlando for 2 weeks - (27th Sept to 9th Oct) and was looking for advice on if it is worth bringing my car and doing a race meeting.

I race indoor/outdoor stock/mod touring cars so any information on track locations would be great....

Also, would I need to be a member or could I just turn up.

I'll probably be based around the theme parks for a few days and then down near Clearwater.

thanks for any help

Keith.

It will be worth bringing your stuff, there are a few tracks in those areas and lots of good racers and I'm sure they would love to see a fresh new face.

check out speedline hobbies in clearwater(outdoor asphalt)

TQ hobbies and Superior Hobbies both in Orlando (outdoor asphalt)

i do believe they all have websites to get the racing info, if not I'm sure someone can post it.

Thanks All.

At least that's narrowed it down a bit as I was getting a bit confused with all the many clubs there are over there!

Look forward to seeing some of you soon.

Thanks again,

Keith.

If you are comming in october, then the superior race will be on sunday, september is the last of the saturday race.

if you are driving from orlando to clearwater you can stop at the lakeland track and probably run a little, its on the way if you are taking I-4

if you need any directions or anything just let me know
