Lots of great memories from there. Hopefully it's not RIP time.

Odd they want everyone out by the end of the month. I wonder how the rental/lease agreements were written. I saw Lynn Park a few weeks ago. At that time the COCOA weekend was still on.

It will probably become another "race club" for the ultra rich. Ala VIR, Spring Mountain, The Thermal Club, etc.

Any time I see where a Business gets bought up by a "Private Equity Group", it rarely ends well, especially when the Buyers don't have any or much experience in what that Business does.  I went to their Web Site and I didn't see anything that pertains to racing.  It is as if one or two of the Executives running the Company decided to get into Tracking their Car for fun so they got their Company to buy it. I could be wrong.

    In case you haven't noticed, it would seem the bulk of the big name "Automotive Aftermarket Performance Parts Manufacturing Industry" has been picked up in the same fashion. 

    And I would have to agree.............. the future doesn't look good!

Look who comes out to PLAY with their vehicles..... Lets call them 'FINANCIALLY ABLE'. Sports cars/ Classic cars/Race cars are not typically for the common man.

Doesn't look like COCOA at Willow Springs is listed anywhere that I can find 🤔
