Welcome to The Villages Motor Racing Fan Club website!

SHARING INTERESTS IN ALL FORMS OF MOTOR RACING

You are cordially invited to view the pages in our site, all of which have been designed to keep our members and interested parties up-to-speed (pun intended!) on who we are and what we do.

Our club is open to all Villages residents. Collectively, we are dedicated to providing a forum to share common interests in ALL forms of motor racing.

Besides many of us being NASCAR fans, we are equally interested in the local racing venues so prevalent here in Florida. The classes we watch range from Super Late Models to Go-Karts, NHRA dragsters, and motorcycles. The tracks we have been known to visit range from the 2.5-mile, high-banked asphalt Daytona International Speedway to the 1/4-mile, flat dirt Marion County Speedway.

There are several ways for you to stay in touch with us:
  

Our next meeting is on Wednesday, April 2, at the Truman Recreation Center, 2705 Canal St, going green at 7 p.m. Please take note of the temporary location.

At the April meeting we will watch a 40-minute documentary about the infamous stock car racer, Gary Balough.

Gary grew up in Hialeah, Florida. He made a name for himself in Late Models on tracks in Florida and throughout the Southeast.

Balough then moved to Dirt Modifies in the Northeast and won multiple championships.

He also competed in NASCAR, achieving success in the Late Model Sportsman division and the Cup series.

Unfortunately, Balough's racing career was impacted by legal issues resulting from drug smuggling in organized crime.

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