Aaron and Wayne have been working for months to get the Daytona track that can be run as an oval or switched to run the infield as a road course restored to its former glory.

Racing on it will start soon and I cant wait!

Looks cool from what I can see, but where is it in the shop?

 

Is it replacing one of the tracks or is it in an addition to the building, or what?

It is in the back room and is not replacing any of the current tracks.
The photos show the track and a super cool mural on the wall looking into the back room.
Aaron also added more pit space in the back room as well.

Ran on a track like that in Pennsylvania years ago. Could it be the same track? 

 

The owner would rent the whole track out by the hour. He would configure the inner lanes to road course and the outer as the tri-oval for us. Talk about a complex car set up.

It was Greg Walkers track when he had The Race Place in Holly Hill, FL.


I literally have at least a billion laps on this track. 😉

Is this one of Steve Ogilvie's tracks? I seem to recall a similar layout shown on the old Ogilvie track website before the company was sold.
