    I don't know what you are smoking, but I don't suggest sharing it with anyone. There is no way lucas oil will do any of what you talking about. It would be a huge money pit, which is basically what Charlotte is. He doesn't have SMI money.

    Forrest already built a huge multi-purpose facility in Wheatland. It never gets the crowds or cars.

    It amazes me how people think they should spend someone money. Lucas is not building another facility, he loses enough money on the one he has.

    Great point👍 I’d love to see someone build a track but yes that’s THEIR money

    Unfortunately if you look across the country the last five or six tracks that were either built brand new or were reburbished, have had their stuggles with attracting fans and/or car counts. Vado, Circle City, I 70, WVMS and Bloomsburg come to mine. None have been a home run, despite spending a pretty good chunk of change $$$$ to do so....Just something to think about?

    Florida real estate a bit of an issue, as far as cost, compared to a lot of places in the country.

    are any other tracks in florida in danger of closing? i think speedweeks as we know it will end after 2024. im guessing no more than 2 shows each at ocala and all tech and maybe 5 shows at volusia. golden isles is a big track so i dont know if racers will want to run there a full week there after running everywhere else before.

    Volusia has more shows now than they used to. I think the schedule will stay about the same in length, just the destinations change.

    I wish someone could turn the unused 1/2 mile asphalt track at SGMP in Cecil, Ga. to dirt. The dragstrip at it does great. Flo broadcasts some of them. The complex sits right by I-75.

    I can't see the WoO (WRG) paying the LOLMDS to race at WRG's facility (Volusia) when they can just schedule more WoO LM races.

    Lucas is kind of in a pickle without East Bay. Maybe slap some dirt of the unused pavement at DeSoto. Or throw some dirt on Showtime Speedway and watch the locals freak the F out lol. We can always race in Trop Field again too as long as no one wants paid.

    Hopefully, Bubba will take the Eastbay dates or at least split them with Alltech!

    Many of the locals want Bubba to race weekly again. Hopefully, his financial issues are behind him!

    Not that different than Vado. I was somewhat joking, but I was at the grand reopening in 2011 or whenever it was. Cars were parked up and down Route 27.

    I could see WRG renting the track to Lucas. I certainly wouldn't see the arrangement you describe above. My point above is that WRG has added late model races at Volusia, that used to not be on the schedule. Any of the tracks that currently host races could have their schedules expanded.

    As they say in realty … it’s all about “location, location, location”.
