Was rumored
Than confirmed on the facebook page
New owner
I don’t see anything about it on their FB page. Who’s the new owner?
Dennis
Its buried in a post on fb.....bill jennings is the name
its aways been said that if it was sold it had to be closed??
Well, it was “OK” while it lasted.
I took my wife there to run the car. Her words were “Don’t ever bring me back to this Hillbilly Hell”.
It was great for setting up a car for the street, 20 bucks run all day
Yep would rather go there than milan, and closest track for me
just adding asphalt to the pits would be a great improvement.
Been there a couple times, the first was janky. The track wasn't great but it was affordable. Either way, it was fun. Hopefully it gets a renovation and stays open
I went there last year, just like running on the street lol.
Man, one summer it seemed like I was there almost every weekend. Had some good times, my little brother hot lapping the shit out of his stone stock 97 Thunderbird, hanging out, messing with my Coronet trying to get every last tenth out of it. This was back when the 1/4 panels were flapping in the breeze...
Oh yeah, and the one time I thought I was gonna die on the way up there. Got caught in a downpour on some rutted out two lane road with no shoulder, had my slicks on the car, driver's side wiper arm flew off, couldn't see shit, no where to pull over, good times, good times....
Is the cone marking the pot hole just after the traps in the left lane gone yet? LOL
Sure hope the new guy is able to make this place nice!
I think we should all just be happy that he isn't turning it into a subdivision.

Sweet. Maybe they'll pave the track.
Lots of good memories visiting LID as a kid with my pops in his 77 Z28 and 87 GN. Back when fast street cars ran 13s and the really fast ones ran 12s.
new owner is working on getting the track repaved, and the pits
When will it be open
Its open now....think hes just getting bids for the paving currently
They have been posting some info on the track Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1371302186286661/
My brother runs the place and has run it for years. He said everything is getting repaved and new timing system is in the works possibly lights also
Not at all trying to slight the investment for re-paving the track, but if the facility as a whole were improved, it would draw more people. I.E. pit area, longer shutdown run, restrooms and return road.
If I remember correctly lapeers shutdown is one of the longest
i think lapeer is a little bit longer than milan
