SUNDAY, JANUARY 22
Sunday’s feature events at the opening round of the Florida Winter Tour in Homestead put the cap on what was truly an amazing event. Thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing highlighted a great day to competition that came to a conclusion just as a threatening weather front made its arrival and as the teams vacated the paddock bound for home, the atmosphere was extremely positive. As the premier ‘spring training’ series on the East Coast, this three-weekend, six-event series looks poised to kick off 2006 in a big way.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 21
If there is a success story in North American karting right now, it’s Bill Wright’s Florida Winter Tour. Launched in 1999 as one of the initial SKUSA satellite regional series, the Tour was taken over by Wright in 2000 when he became the official Regional Director. Growing roots in the state by focusing on the cooler winter months with a tight three-weekend program, the FWT has become the unofficial East Coast ‘spring training’ program for the national level of the sport. This weekend in Homestead, the Florida regulars are facing off against some of the best national pilots in the country. As a program, this one is one of the absolute best available.
