After having four tracks closed in the last decade, Florida finally got a win light when information was relayed about a pair of tracks in the planning stages, or starting construction, in early 2024.

One of those tracks, Lead Foot City, was completed on the west side of the state in Brooksville in time to see racing action by December of 2024. Today, it was announced that Hicken Power Drag Strip had broken ground to start construction on a track in northeast Florida.

Florida has seen four different tracks closed in the last decade, but plans for a pair of drag strips are either underway or close to starting in the sunshine state, and could see action before the 2024 calendar year is complete.
