Default Goodbye Lakeland Dragstrip

I open up the Ledger to see this on the front page of the sports section.

Local Raceway Owner Plans to Sell Property Adjacent to USA Speedway | theledger.com

It may of not been the best track around but I always had fun when I went out there.

Bummer ... after years on the sidelines raising the family, I am now anxious to visit all tracks and get my boys cars down the available tracks --- another one bites the dust.

I'm sure Roy has good rea$on to $ell out, yep lot$ of 'em.
