Sunshine Drag Strip SOLD !!!!!
Just got a call from a buddy of mine that's at the track tonight and he said they just announced that the track property has been sold to the Florida DOT. They said the oval track will be done for good at the end of the year but they are gonna see if they can rent/lease the drag strip from the DOT for another year if they can.
Can we all get a moment of silence.........

They've actually been talking about it for years and years, it got to where nobody thought it would happen and it was all just talk. Then BAM! I guess it's official now, that really does suck. As crappy as the facilities are, it's still our home town track, well, let's enjoy it while we still can............................. Progress sure can be a bitch sometimes

I talked to the owner last Friday (Todd), it's sold and the question in the air is if the are going to be able to lease the land from the city/county for another year. The issue is the fact that the city/county only had enough cash set aside for the purchase, not the start of the construction. It's possible that we may have another year, but nothing is set in stone yet..

this sucks i wonder what will happen to the stock suspension cars.i hope they still keep them.i know it took forever for them just to start the class..
they do need to drop the weight a 100 pounds for the small block cars.the big block cars deff have the uper hand
they also need to make it all slicks or all drag radials i think
either way it sucks damn hour drive will suck ass
