4-17 Speedway progress

[Renegade Racing Fuels]

It's so good to see another Florida short track coming back from oblivion. The facebook site for the NEW 4-17 Speedway has some photos and comments posted that show the enormous amount of work to be done, and the work that's already being done. They have a great group of volunteers helping with the cleanup.

I just don't understand

The 4-17 part. Does anybody know or care to elaborate what that's supposed to signify ?

When is the Grand Opening???

When is the Grand Opening??? Looking at the Track Wars there are divisions racing on top of each other each weekend all the way through November (one weekend Pro Trucks are racing at 3 Tracks within a 90 minute drive). Making it hard to plan where to go!!! Please look at all the schedules from the other Tracks. Good Luck.

At least that was the only thing I could figure unless it was his lucky lottery numbers. When are you and Sean bringing the latemodel back out?

Weather and everything else permitting

I will be there. Hope to see you guys back out. I may try to make it up to the funeral for Columbus Motor Speedway next weekend if not then Citrus County.

yeah pretty shocking they sold the place, can't believe it will be gone, good times there oh well making new memories racing here

Amen to that brother

My mom and dad carried me in that place and the old long gone Powell Speedway when I was an infant. Hard to believe 70 years of racing gets bulldozed under come October for a practice soccer field. At least a few old places have gotten revived lately both up there and down here.
Hope to catch you guys at Desoto.

Hopefully they don't follow the 3 Plams model: 4 cars in 17 different classes

God please I hope not.I-75 would be more entertaining than that.

Talked to Joe today, and he's going full bore. The infield kart track is finished, they're buying and installing grandstands as fast as possible, and they have developed an innovative rules package. Joe and Janet have some very good plans for the track, and they are still planning a November opening.

Does anyone have any info

On the progress of the reopening of the place? With mid October approaching I was wondering if a November opening was still in the plans?
