Gary Laplant has brought the asset of Citrus Racing and is taking over the lease on Citrus County Speedway from Michael Reed as of today Aug 22.2013. I am looking very forward to stepping in and continuing what Mr Reed has started. I intend to keep Citrus County Speedway the greatest short track race track in Florida as been in the past. I look forward to making Citrus County Speedway the favorite track to race at . As your new owner I have a open phone line to drivers and fans, This ale took place in a fast matter and look forward to meeting all the driver and fans of Citrus Country Speedway on Sept 7 2013.

We need a good promoter up here, the racers at CCS will support you 110% if you are fair and do the right thing.

Gary are you going to retain the personal that have run the place so well or are you going to reinvent the wheel? I would steer clear of advice from your old partner as his deal did not work out so good.

[gary laplant]

I will meet with the personal they have on hand now and hopefuuly it will remaind the same for the rest of the year with out any changes unless some need to be made. .

Wow! Why would keep the same staff when they are responsible for a lot of the drivers leaving? If that staff was doing such a great job the track would be strong, not losing drivers on a regular basis. Just sayin.

WE HAVE A WINNER!

The problems will continue until they are gone. My father and I both are former track champions and have been going to the track since the mid 80's and its NEVER been this bad. I could spend hours airing dirty laundry, shady tech dealings and everything else but its not going to do anything but piss me off. The place has been in steady decline for the past 5 years....dont even get me started. Hopefully Gary will restore the track to a FUN place to go racing and back to the best track in the state.

When taking over a business you just dont just fire every and start all over new you weed ou the bad apples in the bunch which trust me I will do what it takes to get cars and fans back at the track.
