Owning and operating the Immokalee Regional Raceway for 27 years has been more than just a profession; it's been a passion and a community lifeline. A drag strip in Felda, FL, located in Hendry County, would not just be a continuation of this legacy but a transformative opportunity for the area. This new facility would foster a sense of community, provide entertainment options, and could become a hub for racing enthusiasts, young and old.

Hendy County’s existing infrastructure has limited recreational options, leaving a gap that this drag strip could perfectly fill. By creating a dedicated space for racing, we would significantly reduce illegal street racing, thus enhancing safety for all our residents. Additionally, the construction and operation of a new drag strip would create new jobs and boost the local economy through increased tourism, attracting visitors from not only across the state, but also the whole US, Canada and foreign countries. 

Florida boasts a vibrant car culture, and a new drag strip could serve as a pivotal venue for state-wide racing events, drawing crowds and enhancing regional prestige. Our experience with the Immokalee Regional Raceway proves that such ventures are not only feasible but also immensely beneficial in fostering community spirit and economic growth.

We understand there may be concerns about noise and environmental impact. However, advanced technological solutions in modern racing facilities can mitigate these issues effectively. Furthermore, we are open to collaborating with local authorities to ensure that the project adheres to all regulatory and environmental requirements.
