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!

Club member Jerry Conkle, a lifelong car enthusiast from Muncie, Indiana, spent 40 years as a toolmaker and machine repairman at General Motors, combining craftsmanship with modern technology.

Growing up surrounded by racing and basketball, he developed a passion for stock car racing and even hitchhiked to his first Indianapolis 500 at age 15.

Now living in The Villages since 1995, he's just as dedicated to golf -- having shot his age thousands of times and scored 16 holes-in-one -- continuing to embrace the activities he loves most.
