Be prepared for 2011 season
For those planning on racing at Florence Speedway in 2011, much advance preparation is needed, and one thing that can be done in advance is filling out your registration and tax forms. Drivers must fill out a new registration and tax form every season. The appropriate forms are available on the track's website on the Rules page. Filling these forms out in advance saves you time at the track and/or payoff window.
Also available on the rules page is the minor release form. Parents must fill out a new form each season for anyone under the age of 18 they wish to take into the pit area. By filling this form out now, you save yourself from filling it out at the gate on race night.
