Big news this week… and some thoughts

[Mike Pearson]

I don't think there are any tracks around us here in Florida that actually race every weekend any more. Back years ago Bradenton, Sunshine Speedway and Orlando had bracket racing every Friday, Saturday and sunday. Not so much anymore. Test and Tune has become the backbone for the local tracks. Pay your money and run down the track as many times and the time will allow. The track does not have to pay any purse just put the money in their pocket. Track prep for these type things is minimal so not much good for a serious racer to test on. mostly the street car gang. I doubt that the real big money bracket races will effect the local stuff. That seems to be dyeing on its own. I haven't been to a real bracket race in years. One of the most active tracks in Florida is Immokalee. They do quite a bit there including quick 16 and some fast door car stuff
