The other day someone asked why we still cover the FSCA (or as we call it “OSCA”) sprint series seeing how they don’t really race in Florida any more. For example, this weekend they are in Georgia and Alabama of all places.

We think the picture to the left sums it up nicely.

But by and large, these are Florida drivers in a Florida series and we’re sure when Putnam County opens back up, we’ll most likely see the OSCA boys and Ashlyn there.

But this is a holiday weekend and if you’re the traveling kind, why not? The OSCA Georgia shows at Alabany, GA (Saturday) have that $15/carload admission deal that simply can’t be beat. Then they head over to Cottonwood, AL (?) Sunday night to wrap up their two night stand in states that do not start with an F and end in A.

And one of our favorites Mark “Ruelz Bitches!” Ruel Jr. seems to be hell bent on knocking Titanium Tommy Denton off his FSCA perch, so what more could you ask for.

So you don’t want to leave the state, eh?

That’s cool, head on over to East Bay. It’s been a while since the sprint cars were at the Clay By The Bay, so we’re sure everyone will be chomping at the bit. Even our very own Factory Driver Flyin’ Ryan Partin will be in attendance to work on a few things before he heads back out on the Top Gun Sprint Series championship trail.

Down the road a spell, if you’re the Punta Gorda kind, the TQs are back in action. Last race out saw an increase in car count but also an accident that sidelined a few people, including legendary Jack Duffy who ended up with a concussion and a broken left hand last time out.

So you’re saying, “hey dammit, I live in Central Florida proper and don’t want to drive very far, give me something to do Verizon Guy.” Well, we would never in good faith recommend a super late model show on a night when sprint cars are running somewhere, but sprint car driver (sorry, we’re calling you that no matter what) and teenage sensation Amanda Ferguson will be racing in the Clyde Hart Memorial Saturday night at New Smyrna Speedway. This is a big race (37 entries already) and a big step for young Amanda. We had a staff discussion about this earlier this week that went like this:

Todd: I don’t know about this, the Clyde Hart Memorial is a cut throat race with guys like Wayne Anderson and Jeff Scofield that don’t suffer fools kindly.

Brian: That’s true, but Amanda’s no fool. She’s raced against Gene Lasker on dirt. And beat him I might add.

Todd: Good point. This might make for good entertainment.

Brian: And they have Yuengling.

So there’s your weekend in a nutshell. Wherever you decide to go, drive safely with it being the holiday weekend and all.

If you didn’t catch the Knoxville Nationals on SPEED recently, check out this footage from a spectator.

Perhaps you’re thinking to yourself, “ah, to hell with that racing stuff, I’m going bowling!” Just keep in mind, you’ll never bowl as well as Curt Henning.

Something to keep in mind if you get into an incident with Wayne Anderson at the Clyde Hart Memorial this weekend.
