Anyone else see this?
Didn't even realize the changed the track name to Movieland Speedpark
Multi-Million dollar in upgrades
Adding a 3/8's asphalt track, ect.

Track Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/Movieland-S...73950206691303

website don't work. tried it.

My question is who bought the place to make all this happen? This all sort of comes out of know where.
Anyone heard more about this?

Got the picture of off Reno Fontana's Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/reno.fontana.3

Re: Chandler? Multi-Million in upgrades, Adding Paved oval,

LOL............Believe it when I see it!

Re: Chandler? Multi-Million in upgrades, Adding Paved oval,
 

I can add some info on this. The promoter for the last 2 years is out. Reno Fontana has come in and made some big promises and plans. The sale of the track is just that PENDING. He claims to have a contract to purchase the property but it has been delayed several times. He has also outlined his financing of the sale which includes selling stock in the track to potential investors and other methods. All of this seems shady at best.

Most of the staff at the track will not be back to work for him if the deal does go through. He has put out a 5 year plan for a $50 million investment in the dirt track, drag strip , and surrounding property. A $50 million investment in Eldora would be tough to pull off so I have no clue how anyone could pull this off at Chandler unless they hit the Powerball.

Is this like the time Reno had investors in that elvis home in California and got in a ton of **** and lost the house and a bunch of investors money

Re: Chandler? Multi-Million in upgrades, Adding Paved oval,
 

LOL 50 MILLION LOL Is he buying Chandler? :5:

Re: Chandler? Multi-Million in upgrades, Adding Paved oval,
 

I do not know the alleged purchase price for the track or if he is for sure buying it or not. If he had the money the track would be his already. He has claimed in a few posts that if the stars align and his investors come through then he will have $50 million to invest in the track over the next 5 years. He has proposed that the property will eventually include a dirt track, pavement track, 1/4 mile dragstrip, a place for stadium off-road trucks to race, drive-in movie theater, soccer/football/baseball fields, and golf course. I can't make this stuff up.

I'm still waiting for X-Plex!:3:

I hope I can get in line to invest before it’s too late! It is a gamble, but I should start seeing a return on investment in about 2437 if my calculations are correct? Owning a race track in the Midwest, the good old get rich quick scheme. Wonder when the F1 US Grand Prix will be moved to the facility?

Some of you amaze me... So someone had plans to revive a IN track that has sat dormant for many years till recently and you make fun of him??? It is a wonder that we have any track owners and promoters at all around here. Keyboard Jockey Raceway that’s what you all should start.

Race fan, yes. Naïve, no.

If it does, sign me up for a ticket.

It’s not difficult to find this guys history. Call it what you want. I’m just saying in the real world the guy is sketchy at best! He does everything with “investors” who have lost their money. It’d be great if it happens! That being said I don’t believe you go from losing your home, to investing $50,000,000 in a race track. I knew someone would knock what I said. But, at the same time you have to be realistic. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I respect that.

I can't help but shake my head and laugh at some of these comments.

If anyone wants an update from the only source that knows first hand all the details, PM me through FB with your question (s) and phone number and I'd be happy to bring you up to speed:) Reno Fontana,President and Founder, Movieland Speedpark.

PM you through Facebook with my phone #? No thank you.

Hopefully it will go better then the huge new motorsports park in central NY. It too was going to have something for everyone, they went as far as to book the biggest modified race of the year. Never happened, none of it.

:11:Were your base,why not post your progress and updates on this forum? Maybe we will shake our heads in agreement

Re: Chandler? Multi-Million in upgrades, Adding Paved oval,
 

All he has is some bogus Facebook page. No other social media, no website and zero dealings with the local news media.

All I could ever find on a quick Google search is that this guy was evicted from a home formerly owned by Elvis and some GoFundMe type account he started which raised exactly $0 of its intended $125,000.

MC/Rider...Hi my friend! The quick update: Incredibly, the property was active and operating for 2016/17 under previous promoters without General Liability and/or Race Day Insurance!!! Presently, I am waiting for a new insurer who inspected the track on 4-26-18 to write me a new GL policy. At that point I can begin work on the property and bring Movieland Speedpark to life!👍☺🏁

This guy can't be serious...

"I've got things lined up for 2019 that are off the charts novel! I.E. Convertible Bomber class with TWO persons on board! One driver working the brake, one rider working the gas! Figure 88 racing! Two intersections per lap instead of one! And I'm thinking to possibly reconfigure the track to the first tri-oval dirt surface in the nation! Think "PT Barnum owns a racetrack" and you'll get an idea of how I intend to promote Movieland Speedpark in Chandler!!!"

Re: Chandler? Multi-Million in upgrades, Adding Paved oval,
 

They had a class similar to that a few years back at Twin Cites, talk about a gas, man and wife teams, some were really good at it, don't know what ever happened to it, but it was, to say the least, entertaining! There is also a video on YouTube, of a guy and a gal, playing the same song, at the same time, on one guitar, also very fascinating! Bob
