Robert Hart still owns the track and we are looking at putting on an event later this year. We are still in the planning stages and will announce everything as soon as it is complete. -
If you include Sportsman, I'll be there Kim! I love Lake City. Ran a few events there last year and even got a win!

Where is the Lake City track located? I never heard of it and can't find any info on it... It's not North Florida Speedway, is it?Originally posted by scottgarrity07 View PostIf you include Sportsman, I'll be there Kim! I love Lake City. Ran a few events there last year and even got a win!Comment

Lake City would be awesome for the SSS final race! Perfect track for super late models, plus it would be a real cool neutral track.
Also seems like a "special event" track can suite Lake City perfectly. All in all great news Kim.Comment

No, but right near N Florida Spdwy. Cool D shaped rather flat 1/2 mile. Very Stafford-like. I call it "The Poor Man's Pocono". A little north of Gainesville right off I-75. It's been struggling lately. Closed for a while but opened last year by a local racing family. Despite their best efforts they just couldn't get a lot of support. Probably because NFS took over the fan base and racers when LCS was closed.Comment

North Fla was already strong with car & fan count before the asphalt track closed. Very few pavement racers in that area.Comment

Just found it on Google... Looks like a great track... Too bad it can't be uprooted and moved to Indian River County... LOTS of old oval guys down there and even further south that would love to race if there was a track within 2 hours...Originally posted by scottgarrity07 View PostComment

This would sure be a welcomed event by those of us stuck in the middle of no mans land- 2 hours north of Bronson, 2 hours south of Cordele, and 3 hours east of 5Flags.Originally posted by Kim Brown View PostComment

I went to 5 Flags last night for the SSS race and was shooting the breeze with some folks afterwards.
The SSS is definitely looking to do a year end show to replace the AA400, and guess what? there is a Florida track under strong consideration for it to take place at!
I'ma keepin' my fingers crossed!Last edited by ScottPrentice; 07-26-2014, 03:11 PM.Comment

My guess is Desoto or NSS.Comment

The more I think about it, I agree with lurkin. It would be a little strange to lose a race at a historic track like Nashville and replace it with lake city. But NSS and desoto are historic in their own rights. Nothing against lake city, I went a few times in the mid 90s and had a blast.Comment

Lake City speedway would be a risky choice for a large scale special race. The track is good and racy. The problems are limited seating and parking. Also the pits while partially paved are quite problematic if there is any significant rainfall. As for a weekly track I think you can draw a line from New Smyrna through Citrus Co. speedway in Florida and a line across Georgia and say no pavement racing between the lines. SGMP while a beautiful facility well equipped to handle a large scale special has gone downhill since it opened with a Hooters race. The exceptions to this are Pensacola and Mobile. Are there even 5 paved tracks running regularly in the state of Georgia. The fewer the tracks the greater the distance racers have to travel and for many it simply is not feasible. On a positive note I commend Mr. Hart in trying to keep his tracks goingComment
