FL2K is an annual drag racing and roll racing event held in Florida. The event is centered on high-horsepower street cars and other drag racing vehicles, and is widely considered as one of the largest drag and roll racing events in the United States.[1][2]

The event includes drag racing, roll racing, car shows, exhibitions from sponsors and vendors, and exhibitions of high-horsepower street cars and other race vehicles.[3]

Similar to how TX2K names is structured, each iteration of the event is named by year, such as FL2K23 and FL2K24.[4]

History

FL2K was established in 2013 at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida. The event developed around drag racing competition and streetcar culture, later expanding into a multi-day motorsports festival, still centered around roll racing and drag racing.[5][6]

FL2K attracts high-horsepower import cars, domestic cars, and online automotive personalities such as Cleetus McFarland,[7][8] who is a partial owner of Bradenton Motorsports Park and owner of the adjacent oval track Freedom Factory.[9][10] Competitors regularly use the event for record attempts and new vehicle debuts.[11]

In 2022, FL2K was temporarily held at Gainesville Raceway following damage caused by Hurricane Ian.[12] The event returned to Bradenton Motorsports Park in 2023.[13]

For the event's 10th anniversary in 2024, organizer Victor Alvarez announced major infrastructure upgrades at Bradenton Motorsports Park, including track improvements, expanded entrances, and other major facility renovations.[9][14][15]

Competition

FL2K is primarily known for heads-up drag racing between street-legal vehicles in "shootout" style competition.[16] The event regularly features Toyota Supras, Nissan GT-Rs, and other popular drag car builds alongside domestic muscle cars and even modern supercars.[17][18]

The event includes classes for small-tire, radial-tire, stick-shift, and front-wheel-drive vehicles.[19]
