Welcome to the Florida Sportsman Challenge Series. The series director will be Bill Chapman. The Series will have at least seven races divided between Citrus County Speedway, DeSoto Super Speedway, Bronson Speedway and tentatively Sunshine Speedway for extra dates. The Series will start on April 14th at DeSoto in order to give all competitors time to prepare their cars for the season.

All races will be 50 Lap events with the field set by time trials. There will be a redraw for the top qualifiers set by an inversion by roll of the dice. Each race will have a $50.00 entry fee. We have four tracks and owners or managers that want to make it work and are making it a reality. (more…)
