On the last Sunday of Bike Week when the Corona cancellation was in effect, I did something different and took a ride to Orlando Speed World on Rt. 50 in Bithlo to watch the Sunshine Nationals Drag Races. It was extremely exciting to watch these racers reach speeds well over 200 mph and cover a ¼ mile in 6.5 seconds. The engine sound is deafening, and the horsepower can be felt from a distance. What a rush if you have never seen it up close in real life. Qualifying day was open to anybody that felt the need to test their bike and skill, but the finals were dominated by the pros and it was awesome to see. The crowd in attendance loved it. Keep up with the AMRA (American Motorcycle Racing Assoc) schedule this year and consider attending next year’s event for one memorable afternoon. I’ll see ya there.
