Do You Feel The Need For Speed? Well, there is a track coming to Tampa where you will be able to go up to 168 miles per hour. The name of the place is The Motor Enclave and it is 200-acre site on Falkenburg Road in Tampa. The track will be opening in March.

The track is a 1.6-mile, 32-foot-wide winding paved track where you will be able to go 168 miles per hour. Additionally, there are four off-road courses, a 37,000-square-foot events center and 240 units that owners can build out however they desire. There won’t be any racing on the track an there will never be more than 15 cars on the track.

The units can be purchased, but be prepared to pay a pretty penny. The units range in price from $368,000 to nearly $2 million. “You can’t live here, it’s not residential,” Chas Ostezan, vice president of Motor Enclave said. “With our zoning, no one is allowed to spend 30 consecutive nights at a time in this space. But they can have a bed in their space if they want. At the very least, we expect most to have a Murphy bed.”

The track is located on Falkenburg Rd. north of I-4.
