Rocket, I would fly into Tampa. The track is about a hour south of tampa, Going into Orland would add about an hour to you drive.

Rocket fly into Sarasota (SRQ). Since my parents live next to the track I have flown there several times. The track is about 10 to 15 min from the airport. Nice airport easy to get in and out of.

Mike Boylan runs thee most efficient r/c racing in the world. Hands down. Had a tech person who marked the voltage and temp of each racer's battery as they came up so if there was a question later on, they could go back and look it up. He followed the stated rules. Everyone was H A P P Y !!!! He even had a giant size thermometer so everyone could see the ambient temperature (it showed 130+). Hot!!
