That really bites!!!!! That place was the ****!!!! The food was awsome and of course the atmosphere was to die for! I will surely miss it along with my son who as a young kid loved the games there. I guess there will never be a John Force Burger again! Damn i think this sucks big time.

That's really gay!! I've spent a lot of money in that place. Maybe I can go and pick up that Smokin' Joe for some consolation.

Man whatta bummer! Been there quite a few times, hell I even have pictures of a 30th anniversary Camaro that was an offical Race Rock vehicle. Sucks it shut down, and I hope it makes a comeback somewhere else.

Gainesville within distance of the track??
