The Central Florida Racing Complex is in a heavy industrial park area a bit West of the Orlando Airport and finding it can be a bit of a challenge. The address is 201 Parcel Lane, Orlando, FL 32824 for those that want to map your route or are using GPS.

The easiest way to find it is to take Exit 71 from I-4 onto the Central Florida Parkway headed East. You will take it to where it dead ends at a t intersection with Rocket Blvd.
Turn Left on Rocket Blvd and then an Immediate Right onto a continuation of the Central Florida Parkway. Follow this 1 mile and turn left onto Cosmonaut Blvd. for 2 tenths of a mile and make a left onto Parcel Lane.

You can also take US RT 441 from the North or South to the Central Florida Parkway then turn to the East and follow the directions above.

If you have questions please let me know. Gates will open at 3:00PM.

Heads up.

For anyone who plans on racing, make sure you read the rules.

Orlando Drag Racing | Central Florida Racing Complex

For example, long pants needed for racing.

And how many of you planned on wearing shorts?

Sure would suck to drive all the way there, then be denied over a wardrobe issue.

Surely won't hurt to be prepared for the rules although they are being relaxed a bit for us versus typical drag strip cars.

Plenty of outlet malls in Orlando for those who live in the Keys and have not owned either a suit or long pants for their entire life.

I'll be chancing it. Can't say nothing bad will happen but I have stayed down that way before and survived - car was not touched in any way. Worst thing that can happen is something happens to the car and I have a chance to fix (upgrade) it. Very worst that can happen is I were to catch someone doing something to it, a body will fold very nicely in the back of a smart.

Like I said before though, I have been down there before and all went well.

I'll be there whatever the weather...

What is the rain plan? 60% chance to be not raining.

per weather.com today
Saturday high 68 low 46
40% precipatation
Rain with a few rumbles of thunder

As always with the weather, subject to change.
May rain for 10 min the whole day for all I know.

Not much we can do about weather. There is a chance of a front moving through on Sat afternoon. I understand if someone doesn't want to chance the trip but rescheduling would be difficult with all of the planning that took place.
We'll go rain or shine and take our chances.
