I could list 30+ drivers who have moth balled their car or just gone elsewhere over the current state of affairs at Citrus, many of us former track champions. When you come into a small town like Inverness or Floral City with a history of trouble, shady dealings and refer to us as "Good Old Boys" and "Hillbilly's" you aren't going to do well with getting the local drivers or businesses to support you. Throw in a few really big lies, left field type rules, bad checks to vendors, lies to cover up the first lies and bad mouthing the life blood of the track and you have the current Citrus County Speedway....but if you ask the current regime leader its the economy, a few troublemakers, the weather or whatever else he can come up with. He has made so many enemies over the years that the damage is irreversible. We all gave him the benefit of the doubt, but the old adage holds true...a leopard NEVER loses it's spots. The track will be up for bid again in 2017 and at that time we will get a new promoter (if he doesn't fold up before then) and the cars will come back in droves. The current promoter has done more to run people off than get them on the track and the fans know it. If you are looking for a GOOD track to visit, hit up BRP, NSS or Desoto.

Ive read and heard the complaints about Citrus Co. Speedway
And visited the track a half dozen times or so(but never raced there) and what made me curious was your statements about Inverness Mini 26.I usually stay in the Inverness area for about a week when I come to the races there and during my stays kind of fell in love with the area and was considering moving there.If there is anything you know about the town that I dont explain further.As far as the track goes my biggest complaints have been the decrepid old stands and the fact they havent been drawing enough cars in every division and the fact that they have now shortened their late model races to the point that its not worth me driving all the way from Ft.Myers to come there anymore.But if there is something about the town that might persuade me not to want to move there feel free to elaborate.sigpic

It is near Webster Flea Mkt--open Mondays only--which is huge and will be close by.
Also they have a Automotive Swap shop at the Webster Fairgrounds once a month for most months that is also huge (parts?).
It's about an hour and change to New Smyrna, St Pete, or Volusia, also.
And have seen some fair and some great shows at Inverness. Will be checking it out again once the days get a little shorter.

I love the proximity
Of everything in Inverness.About a nine mile radius there is everything pretty much that I would need to go to plus they have a bus line that runs through the week in case my cars down.Much better than the area Im in now.Plus I have found parks that are cheaper to put an rv in than where I live now.Ive been talking about it for the last year now.sigpic
