Daytona - The World Center Of Racing

Being a huge NASCAR fan I tend to get a little excited right about now.  We're right in the middle of Speedweeks at Daytona, only a week away from the 2011 Daytona 500 -- the official start of the 2011 season.  I'll be there wondering a bunch of things.  Will Jimmie Johnson actually win 6 championships in a row?  Will Dale, Jr. get up to speed and finally compete for a championship?  Maybe old Mark Martin isn't so old after all, we might just see him in Victory Lane at Homestead in November, finally hoisting that series winner trophy.  Only time will tell.

Time does tell me this though, we're in late February, NASCAR is gearing up, water temp's are warming, soon the azaleas will be blooming, bait will be on the flats and not to far off are those little white butterflies, alerting us all that  Tarpon season in West Central Florida may be underway somewhere.
