@@doraexplora9046It was previously called DeSoto Speedway. From March to October, there was regular circle track racing just about every Saturday night. Hurricane Irma spelled the end though after damage at the track, and it was never a highly profitable business either. Cleetus has been able to rehab the track and everything else around it because he has been able to broaden the reach of the racetrack and bring better revenues than they used to be able to do. This video reminds me a lot of what they would do at the track for New Years Eve, just a bunch of fun, silly races so everyone could have a good time.

Events like this are so epic but also very loud and let's face it, no matter what kind of paper work they sign acknowledging they're moving next to a race track will stop them from complaining.
