(KNS)A week from now, Orlando SpeedWorld will have packed grandstands both in the pits and fan sides. Why? Because on July 28, not only will there be School Bus races but Camper-Trailer races and Allison cars and a demo derby. A night that young fans love and old fans get a kick out of. Watching those big, yellow buses going around in a figure-8 sometimes tilting slightly to the side, just about to roll and then right itself, well, that is something to see.

And Camper-Trailer races, if you have never seen them, you must come and see them. Junk cars pulling around junk trailers until there is nothing left but the axles and a floor board. The track is littered with anything from toilets to cabinets out of the kitchen. The only thing the fans miss is the cleaning up which takes quite awhile.

Then on Saturday, July 29, Lakeland and USA International will host a Florida Sunbelt Super Late Model 125-lap race with James Powell, David Rogers, B.J. McLeod, Travis Kittleson, Brian Finney, Jacob Warren, Morgan Hoover, Barry Willoughby, hopefully Tom McCann, and a number of great drivers from around the state. This will mark the first-time appearance of the Sunbelt series at USA International and hopefully not the last. Along with the Sunbelt will be a SARA Modified race and a SARA Sportsman Late Model race. So bring along some soft seats to sit on because you will be in for some racing action for quite awhile.

Since all of the Super Late Models will more than likely be at Lakeland, New Smyrna Speedway will host the TBARA Winged Sprints on that Saturday night, July 29. As we all know, one of their drivers was hurt badly at St. Augustine last weekend, and I am sure that all your prayers are needed and will be appreciated.

So if you love School Bus racing or Super Late Model racing,come out and join the fun and help us countdown until July 28th.
