What ever happened to the limestone short track in Jacksonville/n Florida and the narrow short track in Orlando that was ran by a millionaire and next to the moto cross and wrestling arena. Talking 70's now??

There used to be a paper clip short track with plywood walls. Nice moto cross ran to one side of it. Across the street was the arena where they had wrestling. Orlando millionaire owned it. I think his last name was turner. Got caught up in IRS and fraud issues. N Florida was a limestone 1/4 mile track....real nice. Moto cross ran around it. Ran some 125 expert ST nationals there in early 70's. Got second. Tammy Kirk kicked my butt
