 Florida Sports Park is a flooded dirt track used several times per year for swamp buggy racing. This location replaced the track on Radio Road, which ran from 1949-1985. |
|
 Large crowds turn out whenever there is a race at the track. Millions saw the races on ABC Wide World of Sports. |
|
 The swamp buggies throw up huge water rooster tails when racing. Only two or three race at a time. |
|
 All entries in the jeep class race together in a mass start event. |
|
 The jeeps are almost submerged when passing through the famous "Sippy Hole," yet they manage to come out the other side and continue racing. |
