It’s two miles, eleven turns, and a 300-ft ascent of raceway magic and memories…not to mention an unforgettable cruise around the world-famous Corkscrew. Bring your bike, helmet, $10 entrance fee, and a lot of energy!

And for all of you artists, why not try swapping out your summer vacation scrapbook with a vacation sketchbook? Ignite your creativity! Tomorrow morning kicks off The Traveler’s Sketchbook, a three-day workshop for budding and blooming artists of all levels with illustrator Chi Birmingham from Brooklyn, NY.
