Thanks for the link.
I did call osw earlier however and talked to a woman there who told me that the track might not be open next year. So disappointing.
Better get yours runs in now people..

if it closes down we are planning to make regular visits to gainesville or bradenton so you're more than welcome to come with. If not, getting into trouble on the streets sounds fun lol

If you want to see the track survive, it's going to need support.

I didn't see a single 4th gen go down the track last night at one of there biggest races of the year.

the only thing that's going to make that track survive is new ownership/management. It has gone so far downhill it's almost unbearable. I hope somebody buys it. We need a decent dragstrip around here!

What part of it has gone downhill? Newer stands, decent food, we went 1.21 last night on a radial.

Why would a new owner buy a dieing business? With out support from racers It won't get bought. I'm not going to spend a half a mil, plus sign a 10k dollar a month lease cause you say your GOING to come, IF I spend MORE money.

I'm with him^^^^^^^^^^. I'll say it for the 100th time. MANY racers quit racing there because of their bullshit ways. It wasn't the facility, it was how management run the whole show. You cater to the people(racers) who will bring revenue(spectator count) to the facility. Don't ignore either group if a bitch arises.(Not talking about Carl's wife, even though she is) but, that's why a buuuunch of racers said f-off, I'll never come back. Havn't been back since '07 and most likely won't until I hear otherwise. I could go on and on but, not now.

N/A_gets_you_laid

Well, I'm fairly new and haven't been to many tracks.. However I've ran there and go there often to spectate. I think we should all consider ourselves fortunate to have a track close by.

Lakeland has become a good track like going there easy access off 4 and no tolls

I'm confused, I went on a test and tune night earlier this year, the place was packed? I used to like going there because I would get 6+ runs in, that night I got a pathetic 3 runs.
So what is going on? Is it really the amount of people going? I'm going to have to read that other thread.

Anyway it sucks for me, all tracks are 2 hours away from where I live, but at least I knew people in Orlando so I had somewhere to stay afterwards.

N/A_gets_you_laid

It probably also has to do with how often the track gets rained out. This weather in florida sucks. The last two times I've driven down to the strip and it's been too wet. I should have gone last week.

I still laugh at people that cry about not being able to hook....

same here, although there have been some nights where there is NO track prep at all. I had a night where I made 7 runs and my best 60' was 2.2, when I was normally hitting 1.5's. The consistency of that place is terrible in recent years

N/A_gets_you_laid

Lol. It's sad because my best is a 2.2......
