Mike Kiedrowski and rookie sensation Jeremy McGrath. Along with the three "biggies," there's the Alligator Enduro, the AHRMA Vintage Road Races, amateur motocross and supercross races, a National Cross Country race, and a seemingly endless list of flat track races to choose from. Race fans will not have a problem finding a race to watch in Daytona. Even if the wife and kids insist that you spend some"quality time" shopping, sightseeing and lounging by the pool, you can still catch the race action on the radio! Double check our schedule for a list of WNDB 1150 AM showtimes, as most of the races will be broadcast live. Each evening, the Bridgestone Race Fever Show will be broadcast live on WNDB from the Volusia Mall at 6:00 p.m., followed by the Chris Carter Radio Show at 7:30 p.m. Carter will host his show from the Days Inn South on Atlantic Avenue. Different racers will be featured on each show, and if you're not content listening in on WNDB, you can go to the hotel to meet them in person. Beginning Tuesday, March 2 through Saturday, March 6, Carter will also host the Chris Carter Call In Show from 9:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Each show will feature different race teams and different themes. WNDB listeners can call in to ask questions and speak with the guests. For those with a competitive spirit but not much ability to back it up, there's the Brute Horsepower Shootout at the American Motorcycle Institute. Throughout the week, attendees will be able to pit their machines against the dyno, and the owner of the most powerful motorcycle will be deemed the winner. On the non-eompetitive side, there are more than a few dual-sport and road rides to choose from and a wide variety of custom motorcycle shows to see. If you can't make it to one of the bike shows, a simple stroll down Main Street will suffice. Just keep in mind that a heavy "biker" element is present, and don't make the same mistake that this editor made last year - black clothing is in and florescent colors are out. The famous Daytona International Motorcycle Show is another show to see. Bikes of all sizes, shapes and colors will be on display. But mind you, while many of the machines will make your mouth water, none of them are for sale. U you're in the market to buy a motorcycle, a num. her of swap meets and auctions will give you plenty of chances to score a new ride. No trip to Daytona would be complete without a drive on the beach. A drive? Yes, as odd as it sounds, the beach is open . to both motorcycles and cars. Just as the Daytona 200 racers did years ago, you can venture on to the sand with your vehicle. But mind you, leave the racing to the race tracks! Strict speed limits on the beach will keep your pace down to a crawl. And why not? The shore is lined with not only thousands of Cycle Week attendees, but spring breakers as well. You wouldn't want to race down the beach and miss all of the "scenery," anyway. The nightlife at Daytona can vary from wild to mild, depending on your choice of hangouts. Whether it be a night out with the boys or dinner with the family, a wide range of options awaits you. But remember, drinking and driving don't mix, so indulge wisely. Like Daytona Beach itself, the surrounding areas offer an infinite number of things to do and places to see, including the Epcot Center, Disneyworld and the Space Center. But if you have motorcycles on the brain like we do, you'll have a hard time leaving the sights, sounds and happenings of Cycle Week long enough to venture elsewhere. See you in Daytona! (N 11
