This certainly is not a complete list of racing and events during bikeweek 2017. It is however, a list of events that I would like to see if there were enough hours in a day and enough days in a week.
I used these sources for the dates and information included in this post:
- Roadracing World Magazine
- www.OfficialBikeWeek.com
- www.SteveNaceRacing.com
- www.DaytonaBikeWeek.com
- Southern Dirt Track Association of Florida
And here is a webpage I dearly would have appreciated many years ago; It’s a directory of Bike Week Lodging Availability sorted by minimum stay length (if any). It also lists if trailer parking is provided or not.
Keep in mind that you can tent camp inside Daytona Speedway for FREE as long as you have your paid admission. Yes, there are hot showers!
