I went to a couple of the AFT races last year (Daytona and Atlanta) and IMHO it's some of the best motorcycle racing around. the heats are great to watch, you get to meet most of the riders in the pits (they have a great "meet and greet" time with the fans, and the racing is close.
If you don't have plans on the 7th, head to woodstock and go watch the Indians and the Harleys battle it out.
If you aren't familiar with the racing, there's two main classes, the single cylinder bikes (mainly converted motocross bikes) and then the "premier class" that are the twins. There are the older Harley XR750's, plus the latest generation, and the Indian FT750, as well as built up Yamaha (FZ07) and Kawasaki (Ninja 650), both of which are parallel twins (and don't have any semblance to the original models, except maybe a logo here or there).
Anyway I'm out riding with friends that weekend so I won't make it, but if you have any interest in racing or motorcycles, it's well worth the trip.
