Check out The Villages Racing Fan Club http://www.villagesracingclub.com
They meet monthly and also organize trips to a wide variety of races.

When we were in TV for a Livestyle Preview, I attended the March meeting. Lots of friendly racing fans. When I sat at one of the tables, I introduced myself and who is one of the people at the table? -- Randy LaJoie's father. He lives in TV.

I read in the Daily Sun that Buzzy Reutimann was the guest speaker at the May meeting.

Funny story... this is how the meeting began.

The president led the group in saying The Pledge of Allegiance and singing The National Anthem. Then the president handed the microphone to one of the members in the audience, who loudly exclaimed, "Gentlemen, start your engines."
