THE HOMESTEAD MIAMI SPEEDWAY 1.8TH MILE TRACK
- FEATURED ELEMENT OF THE RACE -
The Great Grove Bed Race is proud to be sponsored by the Homestead Miami Speedway and has mimicked their Speedway T-n-T 1/8th mile track to bring bed racing and Grove Bed Racers to the profesional level . . . or so we were named by the governing body of The Great Grove Bed Race Cone Heads!
