Hurricane "Paula" No Threat to Florida's BTF:

Caribbean Storm:

Hurricane Paula, a cat 2 storm expected to skirt Cuba's southern coast, bringing showers and unsettled weather to south Florida. Daytona will remain dry, with an approaching cold front lowering current 85 degree temps to a more comfortable 75 to 80.

Happy Campers?

You bet! If you're paying more than ten bucks a night per biker to pitch a little pup tent, you're getting hosed. Prices have fallen quite a bit since '07, and now campgrounds are happy to have as little as 10 or 15 bucks a night, per person, quite reasonable if a hot shower is thrown in to seal the deal. Rent your personal patch of sand for a few days, or a whole week for mouse bucks, speaking of which, don't expect the same ten dollar deal in Orlando. Look for campgrounds which require a 10 or so mile putt to and from Daytona. They will have the best deals, and most amenities. ABM recommends avoiding campgrounds (and motels) near the speedway. The one that sounds like BOA is way too expensive, and the one across the street upped the price they gave us over the phone by 20 bucks a night. Spring was the last time they saw my smilin' face.
