Closest track is Sunshine Speedway - 1/8th
Bradenton Motorsports Park is the closest 1/4

Welcome to Palm Harbor!

welcome! i think you will like it here in the tampa bay area.

i am still in tampa (technically riverview but same thing)

yup i was good friends with mark and lacy untill the shop "debacle" - then they kinda fell off the face of the earth.

like 2002 said, BMP is the closest 1/4 mile (and if you like drag racing, you will LOVE that track). nothing like KCIR. this place HOOKS. sunshine is closer to you but is only 1/8th mile.

what brought you here?

Tired of the crappy Mo weather, and have family here. Drove the bird down from KC and was an awesome drive! No probs and no tickets.

Looking forward getting back in to racing soon as I'm settled in Never ran 1/8 mile before, but heck if it's close, I'll give it a shot! Been reading a lot about Bradenton so def want to check that out sometime.

Seeing a lot of stangs here in Palm Harbor! Hopefully will run in to 2002Black SS somewhere

There's a few of us around. There's a car show at the Wendy's on 19 just north of Nebraska every Friday night, though I haven't been recently due to work. My car's a daily driver, though, so you'll probably see me around some. Where in Palm Harbor (it's actually got 3 zip codes)? I'm right around the corner of Belcher and Curlew.

There's a few 3rds around. Maybe one day I'll get another. I really liked my old one (the LSX swap would be fun).

Need2speed.com is the place for domestic cars. Most of the guys are from the Tampa area and always have something going on. There is still room for the track event in a few weeks, where you can run your car, meet a bunch of members and see what's going on. Lot's of fast cars, seems like a 40-50 street cars in the 10's everytime they have a track rental.
