Welcome to The Villages Motor Racing Fan Club website!

SHARING INTERESTS IN ALL FORMS OF MOTOR RACING

Curious about who we are and what keeps our engines running? Take a spin through our website -- it's built to keep both members and racing fans up-to-speed (pun fully intended!) on everything we do.

Our club is open to all Villages residents, and we're united by one passion: motor racing in every form. Whether you're a die-hard NASCAR fan, love the roar of NHRA dragsters, root for super late models on dirt and asphalt, or get a kick out of go-karts and motorcycles, you'll find fellow enthusiasts here. The photo above? Believe it or not -- that's not even half our members!

From the legendary 2.5-mile high banks of Daytona to the gritty 1/4-mile dirt of Marion County Speedway, we live and breathe the tracks that make Florida a racing hotspot.

Want to keep the excitement going? Connect with us on Facebook or through our Contacts page. We would love to welcome you into the club!

Our next meeting is on January 7 at Colony Cottage Recreation Center, going green at 7 p.m.

Our guest speaker is the legendary short-track stock car racer in the Northeast, “Dynamite” Dave Dion. His racing accomplishments were part of a family affair as his brothers Paul, Roger and Donald were all integral parts to the Dion Brothers Racing team.

Racing primarily in Late Models, Dave became a dominant force at tracks like Thunder Road, Catamount Stadium and across New England, piling up wins and championships.

Dion took his talents to the NASCAR Busch North Series, winning 13 races over 20 seasons (1987-2006). Dion won the 1996 Busch North Series Championship at age 52. His last win on the series came at Oxford Plains Speedway in 2005 at the age of 61. He won the Oxford 250 three different times in three different decades (1975, 1985, 1992), becoming the event’s first 3-time winner. He considers this and his Busch North title his greatest accomplishments in racing.

Meetings are open only to club members, but Villages residents can join at the door. If you are interested, Click Here for more information.
