Let's do a track day


Since this place is almost gone, I'm proposing a track day. A free one. I found this race track out near bradenton when I was headed to the mb trails. Its not a real race track but it may as well be. I'd compare it to the Savanah track. I think its about a 1 or 2 mile lap. Its a complete open lap with no stop signs or anything. Its somewhat open. I took most of the turns in 3rd gear in my car. So it was around 40-50 in the turns and up to about 70 on the straights. Lets see theres no curbs and no trees if you were to run off. The grass is really high all around it. I think there might have been a ditch in some spots but I couldnt tell. The best part is that theres nothing really around there so I think we'd be pretty safe racing there for a day. There was one house near by but I think it'd be alright.

So next sunday the 3rd we're going there and racing.

Um ok, so it's just a public road out in the middle of nowhere? Where exactly do I sign up...? Please post a close location, I would like to google maps this...

Yep public road. Apparently its somewhat new because its not on google maps yet. But this is where it is, at least I think.

I also saw this place on google maps when I was looking for the track. It might be worth checking out.

yeah, there's typically some good stuff being built somewhere along rye road. A good road to explore...

and the good news for us is that all those places they started building out there are probably not going to be finished cause of the housing thing. So that means we should have plenty of place to drive
