Florida Winter Tour
The second round of the highly successful Florida Winter Tour kicks off February 13th. Following the opening round at Homestead Speedway the second week of January the tour returns to a newly resurfaced track which will be run clockwise for the first time in history. That in itself should make for a challenging event for the competitiors but with the new track surface it will be twice as difficult.
I will be on hand to offer support and enjoy the warm Florida sunshine.
