    Greg,
    In 2007, you talked about building a private track in south central Florida. A couple of months ago there was an ad in Dupont Magazine showing a private track but had little details of where it is or how to get information. Is that your venture?

    Mike

    Hey Mike. I have not seen the article in the Dupont Registry. The only private track I know of in Central Florida is the Firm, The Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park.
    I was very serious about the Harley Davidson aka Ford test track in Naples, but it just sold to Chrysler for $7 million. It was a perfect club track, but the local ordinance prohibited organized racing.

    said to email: [email protected]
    other details said 2 mile course, located in south florida, and has a 3000 foot runway also.

    I've never gotten a reply from the gmail listed.

    Ad was in Feb 13 Dupont Magazine, page 108..

    I found this old thread also..

    User "matarleton" or Matt Tarleton was the proprietor it seemed.

    well it's been a decade since I was looking for more info on this private track, and I ran into the new owner in 2022 at PBIR at Brian Redman's Targa Sixty-Six. The property originally belonged to the guy who owned Mentos. Shawn Cunningham bought it and has been trying to build "THE Track", to offer a replacement since PBIR closed down.
