Welcome to The Villages Motor Racing Fan Club website!
SHARING INTERESTS IN ALL FORMS OF MOTOR RACING
You are cordially invited to view the pages in our site, all of which have been designed to keep our members and interested parties up-to-speed (pun intended!) on who we are and what we do.
Our club is open to all Villages residents. Collectively, we are dedicated to providing a forum to share common interests in ALL forms of motor racing.
Besides many of us being NASCAR fans, we are equally interested in the local racing venues so prevalent here in Florida. The classes we watch range from Super Late Models to Go-Karts, NHRA dragsters, and motorcycles. The tracks we have been known to visit range from the 2.5-mile, high-banked asphalt Daytona International Speedway to the 1/4-mile, flat dirt Marion County Speedway.

Ron Hedger - Villager Backstory
Hall of Fame member Ron Hedger was our guest speaker at a club meeting in 2023.
When Ron sent a column to National Speed Sport News, its publication launched a career spanning over 45 years. Along with Speed Sport, he was a contributing editor for Stock Car Racing and Open Wheel magazines and motorsports writer for the Schenectady, NY Daily Gazette.
Ron was featured in The Villages Daily Sun because his current neighbors and friends know him from the golf courses and the nightly town square entertainment. Motorsports journalism is his "backstory."
