FERNS: A Racing Journey Through the Sunshine State

Florida Speedweeks was exactly as one would anticipate: fun, busy, eventful, nomadic, laughter-filled, sunny (for the most part), and it raced on by — I know, punny.

Grace Woelbing, one of SPEED SPORT’s journalists, and I spent a week in Florida going to a bunch of races and collecting loads of content for our podcast, “On the Drive.” And let me tell you, there was no shortage of race-going miles driven and energy drinks consumed.

We began the journey at Sebring Int’l Raceway as I was participating in the Skip Barber Racing School 2-Day Advanced Formula Car School. I drove there from Naples while Grace took a Greyhound bus from Tampa. (That’s a story for another day.)
