I Freakin Love Tampa Bay

The short time I was there -

The town, the track, the ease of getting around (the exception is driving thru Orlando omfg it took 2 hours tonite)

Love the track. Its small, but not too small. Easy to navigate, the tellers I went to were quick and on the spot, got a cool calendar, nice paddock, nice monitor on the front stretch and easy to read, just a cool darn place

Can't wait to go back and it was too funny to run into some regulars from my old hangouts in Ohio there today. It's a small world

Sorry I missed ya 2MtoPost - got there late for the P4... Glad you enjoyed the place - It's tough to stay away from when you live near by

Sea Gulls were getting a little agressive around that time

I'll send you a pm next time I head down. I think I will just plan on 2 days and getting a room. Plenty of options in the area for hotels no doubt.

Wow gotta get there early it appears if you wanna get a spot at a picnic table, etc on the front stretch.

Ive never driven in NYC or LA....but it can't be any worse than trying to get around Orlando.

I like Tampa - but I love Derby Lane.

The clubhouse buffet is great up there.

Only knock is that you can't really bring a laptop downstairs because of lack of outlets once you run out of power - but it's fine upstairs.

There is an old timer where I chill at Arlington that swears by that place, he is an HTR guy.

I could never be married and live in Florida, coming home every night smelling like strawberry and having sparkly things in my hair and on my pants would probably cause alot of problems....
