Last year, 2021, while visiting my sons in the Tampa area we went to Showtime Speedway in Pinellas Park a bit west of Tampa. The special show that night was the Figure 8 group, which I'd never seen beyond the old Islip TV shows, and assumed would be like a crash-fest ... but I was completely off-base and pleasantly surprised. The Figure 8 cars were really something and exciting, not for the "X", but for the racing and the cars. The seemingly limited rules and individuality of them, and competiveness was terrific.
Also on the card was the FL sprints. Too few of them and not too interesting.
The modifieds, like the IMCA style cars, with limited aero additions were pretty good..
The best races of the night were the classes and heats, and features for lack of a better name on my part, the "Cop Car" class. The number of cars running and their competitiveness, the sound of the Detroit V8 motors all made for very exciting racing.
