OLDSMAR â For more than two years the BMX Supercross track at the Oldsmar Sports Complex has stood vacant, a towering reminder that even the best-laid plans can go off track.
Lingering structural defects with the packed-earth track forced officials to decide whether to abandon the $2.3 million facility or rebuild it.
The Oldsmar City Council agreed last month it was more important to keep the track, unanimously approving a design-build agreement with Tarpon Springs-based J. Kokolakis Contracting for as much as nearly $3 million, news that was music to the ears of the dozens of members of the local BMX community in attendance.
