Friday Nights Live as Homestead-Miami Speedway aims to curb illegal street racing
Law enforcement and advocacy groups long have sought safe alternatives to combat the rise of illegal street racing on South Florida roadways, and in June 2009 Homestead-Miami Speedway answered the call by launching its “Speedway T-n-T & Car Show,” providing car enthusiasts an opportunity to test and tune street-legal vehicles in a controlled environment on a 1/8-mile course at THE Championship Track.
Guests of “Speedway T-n-T” are also invited to catch the action from the Garage Suites overlooking the 1/8-mile course along Pit Road, as well as showcase their vehicles in a car-club environment in the very garages that house NASCAR, IndyCar and Grand-Am Champions. All types of street-legal vehicles are welcome and on display.
Homestead-Miami Speedway hosts “Speedway T-n-T” under the lights every Friday night year-round from 6 pm to Midnight. For more info, call (305) 230-5374 or visit THEChampionshipTrack.com.
