Seems like going by this story that the future of Lakeland's dragstrip is questionable again.
Would be sad to loose that venue that host some of the most exciting import events in Florida.

I already posted this under the SE section..

 

I'm aware of that or esle I would not have replied there.

 

lol it fits here to... Copy cat!! lol

 

Wow!!! So for all the fun n times and people that come out to the events, plus the rest of the things like test n tune stunt wars etc.... and theyre closing the strip and leaving the mud pits??? anf the tug of war?! Damn.....-Erik

 

i say 1. pure cockery, 2. i have a feeling it'll be back soon weather it's months before the yrs out or before summer next yr, but at least i did get to run on a test an tune night at this legendary track even though it was with my daily and not my near complete track car

 

It is a shame , i had a hell of a good times at Lakeland Dragstrip .

 

But no one knows who bought it yet so lets just wait and see... The first burnout in my new car was that track as well as the first pass so I am really bummed out too.

Now that i think about it, the lst pass i made in my RX7 was there too Kinda cool that my first pass and last pass was at the same track.

When i went down there for the event everyone was really nice to me as well as my crew. It was a really nice local crowd and i hope to return one day.

I hope the person who buys the property considers keeping it a track!!!!

 

Only time will tell.
I had many enjoyable times at that track. Met a lot of people and made a couple of friends.

 

Hey, Crispeed do you happen to know what date is the panamerican races in florida and what track, im in fl the last week of july and first week of august hopping that im town, deffinite making the jersy at atco this weekend, thanks in advance.

 

The lakeland speed way is who he is selling it to. Their plans as far as everyone I know has heard is that it will be made into parking for the oval.

 

Correction. Apparently a development company purchased the oval and drag tracks... So Only time will tell. Rumors, of trucking docks and apartments.

 

the track will re-open the first week of september. they just closed it to fix all the problems.

 

hopefully they dont clos again for a really really really long time

 

Lakeland will re-open on Sept 6th!!!
