WTF!! Long time muscle car track going Import - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

If anyone from FL has been to the track in Lakeland, they are giving us " "muscle cars" "V8's" the boot! For the longest I've been around this track has been available for my dad when he was young. Now Ive heard from more than two people that it is gonna be an Import track only!!! Well to those who's been there with a V8 they just slapped us in the face. This really sucks!!!

I don't understand. Are you saying that you can't race a domestic car at the track?

ROBBDOGG1986 · 03-04-2010, 02:43 PM

They are saying V8's are not allowed on there track!!!! Some BS!

Which track is it? I think this needs some clarification. Let's get them on the phone and find out what is going on here. If the rumor is true, then an explanation would be helpful. I have trouble believing that any business would refuse business to people who would eagerly pay to participate in the business, especially when performance V8 drivers have more money on average than the average tuner and could thus go to the track more frequently.

I think it's called The Lakeland Speedway, I thought the same of you, The Blur, I hope there just rumors, cause Imports suck!!

If its true , this is wrong in so many ways. Wally Parks will roll over in his grave!

Follow the link. Lakeland Motorsports Park says no more V8's on Saturday nights.

So there just having an import night. Thats just like up here at Norwalk we have a wed. night street night all cars that are street legal and have to be drove in to qualify to race. Its only one night a week.

Tracks have import nights all over the country. They must have a large import crowd to hold one every week.

DarricSS · 03-05-2010, 05:44 AM

Calm down, it's called an "Import Night" Firebird raceway here in Phoenix does the same thing once a week. It's to keep all the "Fast and Furious" kids safe...

Take a gander at some of the cars that show up to those races, the Supra's are allot of fun to watch.

armysig · 03-05-2010, 08:25 AM

I can fully understand an import night, but on a Saturday? Wouldn't you want to bring in all kinds of vehicles on the weekends to bring in the most profit to the track?

Eh to each their own.

Saturday should be everyone's night. Import night should be a night where there's a low turnout to attract more cars to the track. Taking a night that more people show up and making it an exclusive event reduces track-paying admission. Some people don't know how to run a business.

That sucks! Must be more 4's and 6's down there than 8's. Come to Pa we drag race everything from ATV's to sprint cars to jets.

ROBBDOGG1986 · 03-05-2010, 11:32 AM

So for Saturday night only..... Still that's bad cause I know saturday is the only day I could go, what a shame.
