Ozzy currently owns Orlando Speed World, Lakeland Dragway and South Georgia Motorsports Park in Cecil GA. Ozzy reports the closing will be on February 26th. Holt was a long time IHRA track but no indications at this time if it will stay IHRA. Currently all of the tracks Ozzy owns are IHRA sanctioned. Improvements and upgrades will begin shortly. Congrats to Ozzy and his team! Jim

This is fantastic news for all my friends out in the "panhandle". I raced at Emerald Coast in the early 2000's. It was a great 1/8th mile facility... Yes it has gone thru many changes since then and hasn't been in operation for several years... I know it was a challenge to get this property out of the legal system... Good for Ozzie!!!!
