Damn, that's the first time I've seen actual pics of the track and not an arial view
~25 miles to Clewiston proper ~40 miles to Immokalee proper. There's not a whole lot of support structure out there. Better bring your own fuel, food, and brews.
Also that CCTV camera in the pictures. Is that strait up from the 70s or 80s?
Buy it up for $5mil, franchise a Chevron/McDonalds gas station on the property and profit.
Anything ever happen with this track? It's still totally visible on google maps, there doesn't appear to be an entrance road though. Looks like a perfect track and location away from things.

I've not seen or heard anything recently.
This has to be one of the most mysterious and wild unused racetracks in the entire country.

Very cool video! There's a pretty active thread about this track on the "Retired Race Cars and Abandoned Race Tracks" facebook group currently. Although nobody really seems to have any new info to add and several people mistaking the place for the Firm.
One of the posts on the Facebook group:
Egidio Perfetti built the track for him and his nephew to practice for Sebring… they ran Porsches
from Wikipedia:
Egidio Perfetti (born 5 June 1975 in Sorengo) is a Norwegian racing driver. He is also a director in the family business Perfetti Van Melle, which is an Italian global manufacturer of confectionery and gum, dating back to the 1940s. Today it is the third largest group in the world in its sector after Mondelez Internationaland Mars Inc. Mentos is one of the Perfetti Van Melle brands which is often promoted on Perfetti's racing cars.[1]

That is wild, so like, what happened? That's my curiousity. Theres not really a living structure nearby. Just a random and from the looks, pretty good track, in the middle of the swamp.
I wonder what the alligators are like down there.

Big. They have to be, so they don't get eaten by the pythons.
I tried going here about a week ago. Lots of paths that Google maps doesn't know. I ended up getting stuck in mud for hours on end. I eventually got out and the rest of the way was good. All of it is private property so I'm not even sure what a good way of going to the track would be. (I never made it to the track I just wanted to go home).
I want to go back to see the track in person and document it. If anyone in South Florida is down for that, please add me on discord. theman3942
