the old cart track on the roof at daytona beach boardwalk...when all the other tracks frown on car contact they used to spray water on the corners and laugh like hell at the deliberate crashes.sometimes theyd even come out and get in the cars and "help"

I was told by Jeremy Weibel (track manager at Lakeland Motorsports Park) that the area directly behind the Rooms To Go warehouse on I-4 used to be the old original Tampa Dragstrip. Jeremy's dad used to crew for Don Garlits back then in the 1950's and that's where some of drag racing's legends were started.

Since I've started this thread, I already checked out the abandoned airport strip on 54.
I'm surprised noone mentioned it yet. But remember talking about the old dragstrip off South/North(?) Mobley road a few years ago on here?
