If he does with Orlando, what he's done with Lakeland. AKA give a ****. Amazing things are going to happen. Even if Carl and Shelby run it this year for 1 more year I'm happy. Shelby busted her *** last year. And i think she'll happily do it again.

lakeland's car count has atleast tripled in the last year. under the old regime they might draw 8 cars for their saturday night program, and it was always the same 8 local bracket cars. I just went out saturday for their index race and had trouble finding a place to pit, and I got there early. and regular saturday nights are even about 20-30 cars now. now the only concern is if OSW reopens and get a better reputation, some of the guys that have been coming to lakeland will start going there just to run the 1/4. but still, having both tracks in good standing will atleast give the racers an option and let them choose where they want to run, as opposed to where they are able to run

So..
Who has the golden egg?
All I want to know is when I can drop the clutch without seeing blue and red lights.
Who knows when a statement will be given by track officials announcing the reopening of, specifically, the 1/4 mile drag strip?

Bumping this back up because I'm still waiting to run my car in the 1/4.

I would like to do it while there's cool air in FL.

Yeah I know I'm impatient...

I'll post this here too.

This is the latest quote from Ozzy today...

I need to come and clear the air just a little. I have purchased the Orlando Speedworld circle track and have started renovations to be able to begin races and events at the circle track sometime in March. I am in continued negotiations with Carl on purchasing the lease for the drag strip. As of now, nothing is etched in stone and any information of me having purchased the drag strip or the lease for the drag strip is just rumor and speculation at this point. Again, I am in continued negotiations with Carl and hope that he and I will be able to come to some sort of agreement soon. He has been more than gracious in working with me and we are continuing the process as quickly as we can. I'm sorry for anyone who is speaking on my behalf about purchasing the drag strip. I am trying, but am not there yet. Hopefully we will have more news soon. Sorry for any inconvienence, but this is the information as it stands today. Thanks Ozzy

Great minds think alike...When it comes time to start a family I'm getting either a 2nd gen CTS-V or G8. Then the camaro can get caged and become a racecar
