If I had lived in Florida instead of Ohio

As many of you know, I was a dirt circle tracker racer in my youth in Ohio. As such I had not given much thought to road racing. I jumped into Late Model racing which is the top tier, but soon saw that I needed to drop back to Hobby Stock to gain race craft knowledge.
While it was a lower class of racing it was a lot of fun building and learning what it took to make a car go fast and turn left on dirt.
I've been watching a bit of Mazda Spec racing on YouTube and Facebook running at Daytona. It looks like so much fun for the money invested. Of course, as a former racing owner driver I know money is always spent to go faster but still remembering my Hobby Stock days and the money it took to run near the front I think it would have been a great time. I am envious of William's youth and the adventures he is going to have.... 
And having Daytona as a "Home Track" only an hour away is a bonus.
