I'll be at Homestead on the weekend of the 24th and 25th and was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations on where to stay? thanks!

 

There's not much to do in Homestead (other than the race track, entrance to Everglades Nat.l Park, and a few good Mexican restaurants- the rest is farmland).
You should stay in Miami and drive down. It's a 25 min. drive w/o traffic.

 

i may just go to race and then be too tired to do anything

but i do need to find a decent place to stay, and if there are none near by, i'll have to make the drive heh

also, are there any good speed shops near homestead or in miami where i can try on gloves? been looking for a good pair of racing gloves but i've got no where to try them on. thanks!

 

SCSI,

Just make sure SouthFL isn't signed up to hit Homestead during your weekend. You don't want to be on the track with this guy.

 

haha i dont think that'll happen.

no suggestions? perhaps i'll just find a cheap comfort inn or something?

also, no speed shops where i might be able to try on gloves?

No problem.

The website doesn't seem to support online shopping, but the store is definately there. My office is a couple blocks away from it.


I seriously doubt they would have anything SFI rated, but there's also this place in Aventura (a Miami suburb)

FWIW, I went through a set of expensive Sparco gloves quickly and am now using these durable, affordable, comfortable gloves:

thanks for your help

I have the basic non-SFI rated 350 Series. $29.99



For a race weekend you may want to get an SFI rated glove, which are also listed on that page.
