[Land-speed] World of Speed vs. August Speed Weeks

[Glen Barrett]

Bill
Welcome to the forum. As you already know speed week is large with well over 
400 entries, I believe the entry list for the USFRA world of speed is less 
then 200. Weather is always a concern at either of the meets. Finding a 
place to stay is also a concern. The day of inspection at speed week is 
awesome with every type of vehicle and all different.

The pits are open to everyone but you can't take your vehicle in the pits as 
it's crowded and the walk around is  the best way to see and take pictures 
and meet the people.

The WOS is much more laid back where speed week is very busy the 1st 5 days. 
I am sure others will jump in here with their input. Hope you can make it 
and enjoy getting bit by the salt fever bug, the only fix is to return each 
year for a booster shot.
