    Race fans ain't like nobody else. Come Saturday night, you can keep your peace and quiet. Set us in…read moresome bleachers, overlooking the asphalt rink of the stock car roller derby. Hell yeah! Racing. It just plain gets in your blood. Welded to your chassis. Belted in tight. Race fans will trek a whole lotta miles, if necessary, to spend the night with strangers. Strangers, who, like us, crave the smell of rubber, radiators and flaming fumes. Auburndale Speedway has been a trek destination of mine for a few years now. Oh say, since 1977-ish. That's a helluva lot of busted up race cars, spins, smoke and temper tantrums. All of a sudden, I wasn't able to attend. For this reason, or for that reason. Non-sense reasons. And that, is a pity. I really really missed it. But I'm back. And it's like I never ever stopped going. Picking up right where I left off! The parking lot. The ticket windows. The gate. The gatekeepers. The grandstands. The concession stand. The bathrooms (gotta go, ya know?). The track. The cars. Best of all, the intoxicating sound of those high revving engines. Screaming and popping, practicing on the track. It's loud. Real loud. Real music to a race fan's ears. A rock concert of speed. Everything was there. I was there. I sat where I always sit! (Race fans love their spots!). I ate 'race food'. Burger, fries and a foam cup of fizzy pop. Soda to some. Boiled peanuts. Biting into that saltwater brine. It was a perfect night for racing. It was a perfect night OF racing. While a misty drizzle tickled at us, we were wowed by a rainbow. Pointing to that pot of gold on Turn 4. We knew that was no threat. We knew we were going racing! It was a perfect race crowd. Kids running around looking at everything but the races. Teens playing Frisbee in the side yard. Old men, alone and bundled up in their Chevy race jackets. Young couples, with babies, starting a new batch of race fans. Fueled up fans with foamy beers and go team cheers. The 'we stand for the wreck worriers'. Every race saw quite a bit of drama. Spills and thrills. Rubber donut decorated doors. Flopping hoods and finger pointing. Spins and wins. I'd say we got WAY more than we paid admission for. A whole lot more. I'm a fan of Auburndale Speedway. It has a lot of character. It has a whole lot of CHARACTERS! IF we lose another racetrack, we lose another piece of our hearts. We can't let that happen! Track owners could save themselves a lot of stress, and money, by throwing away the keys and just walking away. It's OUR job to keep these tracks alive! WHAT happens if we have NO races to go to. NONE. Anywhere. I don't even want to think about that... Welcome, race fans!

    If you're disabled and sit in a chair at the bottom of the bleacher seats---save your money…read more Between the 50/50 raffle people and the kids stopping along the fence to see a "highlight" of the race or a crash, you might as well stay home. With the dirt & dust coming off the track in turn 4 -- be sure and wear your Covid Mask and goggles. They used to use the blower trucks during the break between races to help clear some of it. As far as getting a free T-shirt from the bazooka shooter, be sure to set in the main grandstand. Such a shame, it used to be fun.

    On April 10,2026 my brother, his daughter and a couple of their friends went to see a champion race…read morecar driver, from " Team Camp in action. Donta is the driver in question. The man won 7 races and have two championships belts. Donta cars are so fast and he is a skilled driver. To no one wanted to lineup against him. He had to race 5 times against himself. Because, he had to challengers. One opponent pulled up to the line against him. Then backed out saying something was wrong with his car. There was 2 brave opponents that did challenge him. But, to no avail. He was just to fast. We were there as his guest. It was such a God given blessed night. The weather was about 70 degrees with a light breeze. The people was so friendly and welcoming. Between races I walked around the park and ran into some of my Masonic Brethren. I ran into business owners, that I grew up with their parents. For instance a business owner name James " psych" Brown of JBW TOTAL SOLUTIONS LLC" of Orlando Florida. This young man is from Clewiston, Florida " The Muck". And he is Big Balling" in Orlando. Team is owned and sponsored by SVB CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE LLC. I felt like a superstar there at Orlando Speed World. The people was great. We were hanging out with the champ and his family. Champ mom, uncle, sister and friends was part of his team. The were so down to earth. Me myself, love it when you get to see the young people still hanging out and working with there parents and elders. What a great day to be alive!

    As someone who lived in Okinawa, Japan, and spent years around some of the best drifting in the…read moreworld, I wasn't sure what to expect from this event. I have to say--I was genuinely impressed. The drifting itself was absolutely incredible. The drivers put on an amazing show, the action was nonstop, and I had an absolute blast. If you're a drifting fan, this event is definitely worth seeing. Unfortunately, the facility itself is a completely different story. The biggest issue was parking. Getting in wasn't terrible, but getting out took nearly 40 minutes. The parking areas were muddy, covered in grass, and swarming with bugs. By the end of the night, I was covered in mud and mosquito bites just from walking to and from my vehicle. Another major frustration was the restroom situation. The facility has permanent restrooms inside the building, yet employees were stationed at the doors preventing paying customers from using them. Instead, everyone was forced to use portable restrooms and restroom trailers that were overwhelmed by the crowd. The lines were incredibly long, and for a venue charging admission, this made no sense at all. Food options were limited and very expensive for what was available. The grandstand seating also needs serious attention. The benches are old, uncomfortable, cramped, and offer no protection from the Florida sun or rain. Everyone was packed together with very little personal space. The sound system was another disappointment. Much of the commentary was difficult or impossible to hear unless you were sitting directly next to a speaker. Then, instead of being clear, it was simply too loud and uncomfortable. What makes all of this frustrating is that the event itself was fantastic. The drifting was exciting, professional, and entertaining from start to finish. The facility, however, feels neglected and badly in need of upgrades. With the crowds these events attract and the money being generated, it would be great to see some investment put back into improving the overall experience for fans. I would absolutely return for another drifting event because the on-track action was that good. I just hope the owners recognize the potential of this venue and make the improvements it desperately needs. The drivers and fans deserve a facility that matches the quality of the show being put on.

    This is my fourth time to this track and it looks like they've done a lot of improvements to the…read moretrack or the facilities around the track. I remember the first time I came to the track. It was pretty dirty and it seemed like the bathrooms were really unkept, but I noticed this time they had people at every single bathroom keeping them clean every time I went to the bathroom, it was super clean now Road Atlanta needs to catch up with them. I like the new bridge crossovers that let you get to the paddocks and over the track. The shuttles have been great for people who don't feel like walking and especially when my knees needed a break from the stairs. Temporary signs were everywhere and the free parking for those whom didn't purchase or have an inside parking sure is nice as it helps it brings a bigger crowd to the races and helps promote and keep the sport popular. I did get to park inside with my four day pass and that was really nice to not have to buy it separately but also the free parking wasn't super far either. The weather has been great so far and the track staff have kept the track clean and so far it's been a fun event. I'll update after the race with any post race feedback. I finally found the free program with the map of the track layout and the shuttle stops have a track map also. This has been super helpful. At Daytona they had either ran out or didn't have maps and it was challenging and frustrating. They need to add temporary track maps to their shuttle stops like Sebring. I also like how the shuttle staff were familiar with the stops and helped navigate when and where to get off based on where you were wanting to go, something the staff at Daytona definitely had no clue about and their lines were long and fans were frustrated not knowing where to go or if they were even getting on the correct shuttles.

As the first race here was held in 1950, it's one of the oldest continuously operating tracks in the United States. I came here to see the two days of Porsche racing with only Porches involved in the races. I ended up staying at the Sebring International Raceway Hotel also known as Seven Sebring Raceway Hotel in room 417 which is located right on the race track with a balcony overlooking its famous hairpin turn. The room I had was great. It was clean, well-furnished and with the best race track view anyone could ask for. Then, with its Apex bar and restaurant facilities a total of Yelp 5 plus stars.

    I say 3.5 but would round up to 4 stars because of the swag you get! have ran this race 3 or maybe…read more4 years in a row. It is always well organized with a great turn out of runners. They offer 2 miles, 10k and distance dare that includes both. Parking can get tricky so arrive early if you dont want to be circling around for a bit. There is steeet parking and garages to choose from. My biggest con is the route, go over a lot of cobblestone. For runners this can be tricky, especially among crowded areas. I saw a couple people trip and yep....so did I. The uneven roads also are a watch out if you already have a weak ankle/knee from a prior injury....yes me again! The views are great! Pass beautiful houses and nice lakes but the roads could use improvement. There also are two water stations that I can remember of available. The best part of the 10k is you are tremendously rewarded....and not just with a medal! You get your medal, beer glass, towel and so many goodies from vendors. They had breakfast sandwhiches, smoothies, massages, bananas, strawberries, coffee and so much more! Runners of all speeds run the race. If you have never ran a 10k or are nervous to run one this would be the perfect one, get off that couch and get to jogging!

I am not the speediest of runners, but I'm typically solidly in the middle of the pack. For me, completing the 2 miler and making it to the start of the 10k was a little tight time wise, but doable. It may have been because I was towards the back of the 2 miler starting group, which out me a minute or two behind the clock start of the race. The courses both run through beautiful Winter Park, which provides a great backdrop for a morning run! Bits of the course were a tiny but crowded and there is cobblestone and uneven ground so it's important to watch you footing! Runners who completed the 10k received a medal and completing the Distance Dare also qualified runners for a second medal! I always enjoy some extra bling! The post-race area had a great energy but was a tad crowded, lines for the free beer included with the race were very long, but that wasn't a big deal to me as it was still so early in the morning! Participants receive a free stemless wineglass which was a nice extra piece if swag. Runners can pay extra for access to a VIP area with extra food and some seating, which is something I'd consider in the future. Fun run!
