You like warm weather and racing... pick up stakes and move to Florida.
Plenty of racing going on all over every week
Bradenton, West Palm, Gainsville, Orlando, immokalee, etc.

In 1985 my cousin and I went to Florida and worked. There wasn't much construction going on here and there was in FL, so south we went. Snow flakes as big as horse turds were falling here when we left, in two days we were working in shorts and shirtless. We drove a 68 Cornet R/T 440, 4 speed with a 3.54 Dana. By the time we got to Jacksonville we had used almost $100 in gas, remember it was 1985.

We were staying in Titusville and there was racing at a track somewhere just about every night, not to mention all the street racing. There were some very fast (for the time) street cars there. We witnessed a 18yo or so kid get hit and killed one night at a huge street race. That was the last street race we attended.
