- 4/12/08 - Due to the rains already received and with more rain and cold temperatures forecasted, tonight's races have been cancelled. We will be back next week with a $2,000 to win special for the Late Models plus regular shows for the Modified, Super Dirt Stock, and Pure Stock divisions.
- 3/19/08 - Due to the torrential rains already received and with more rain forecasted for later this week, this Saturday's Spring 50 at Florence Speedway has been cancelled. The sheer volume of water that has fallen in the area over the past couple days, combined with the effects of the recent blizzard, has left the grounds saturated to the point that it would be nearly impossible to attempt a race on Saturday. The Spring 50 will now be rescheduled for April 5th and will feature a $5000 to win program for Late Models and a $600 to win program for Modifieds. The first points race of the 2008 season will now be pushed back to Saturday, April 12th. At this time, we still plan to run the open practice session on Saturday March 29th as scheduled.

- 3/6/08 - As you probably noticed, there have been a few changes to the site recently. First was the aforementioned email mailing list. If you haven't joined already, you will want to as it will become an invaluable resource once its fully operational. Also, new on the site are a Merchandise page, a page for the posting and archiving of Results, and this News page which will be used for posting any and all news, press releases, and general site updates. Check back on the Merchandise page once we get into the season as we plan on adding a variety of Florence Speedway items and clothing. As you navigate through the site, if you find pages or links that are broken or out of date, please email me at jking@florencespeedway.com as this update required editing every page on the site and a few errors might have snuck through.

- 3/3/08 - As a reminder, those wanting to take minors in the pit area will need to fill out a minor release form. A new one has to be filled out each season.

- 3/3/08 - Also available on the Rules page is the tax form for drivers and/or car owners. A new form must be filled out every year. While this is typically not an issue, we do reserve the right to withold prize monies from competitors without a current tax form on file.
