as you know our beloved indoor track has closed, I drove by the old track in Mango (adrenaline) to see what type of condition it is in, good news and not so good news. first the good news, the driver stand is in great shape, will need some cleaning and painting, the not so good, the asphalt is cracked and rough. the container that's underneath the driver stand is rough, and the exterior barrier walls are bad,
I would like to get some input from everyone to see if its worth rebuilding . there are two major obstacles we also need to consider, first the county, I believe we need there permission , and two lap counting system.
there are a few of us willing to do the work, I would like everyones thoughts and ideas on this.
thanks once again

Marcos has the key to the lock if you didn't want to cut it. There's track equipment in there still. Blower (still works), spayers, extra pipe, ect...

How big of a track could you put there? I remember it was a pretty short track.

at this point steve , we are just getting feedback from everyone to see what direction to go, its going to take work, capital, and organization to get it going again. but probably keep it the same size. it is currently bigger than plant city

Hello my name is Lee I live in the area. I would love to help and get the track back up and running again. I do have some ideas for the track area. What do yall think about putting in a off-road track on the other side of the drivers stand opposite of the on-road track. I have already done the measurement s and we can put in a 180'x140' inside of the lights area.

As fare as a lap counting system. What about the one from the indoor track?

Thanks for the heads up. I think the next step is to pick a day and meet at the track for some cleanup and orginization. Open to ideas.
