also anytime would be great, maybe week nite might be good since all the other events are on the weekends. also day events durring the summer heat are total fail! lol
me and plenty others have ran way better e.ts at lakeland than sunshine. i personally 6oft 8hundreds quiker at lakeland than sunshine.

maybe try getting your car to work better than blaiming the track

somethings funny with the lights at the end of lakeland..


but if that track had been taken care of it would be a very good track... it was holding national events and rivaling gainsville back in the 60's and 70's when it was a 1/4.... then the owners got greedy sold off the back half and made the track too short.

first off, i'm not blaming any track for anything!!! my car runs great at all the tracks around here and throuhout the southeast!!! i was stating a fact, the track surface is in very bad shape at lakeland!
roy, the owner, is a good friend of mine and i love him to death, but he's tight as hell and wont spend a dime on the track as long as people keep coming and the money flows in! lol

also the track is a lil shorter at lakeland, the traps arent as far down the track and that's where you lil better times come from.

they are different from right to left lane. mph sensors are mounted on opposite sides of a 6" post.

never said the et/60ft was off just said the lights are funny.


no big deal to me personally, if lakeland is taken care of it still can be a good track. just wish they wouldn't of sold the back half back in the day.
