As the host facility of the first major racing events on the super late model circuits each year, Golden Isles Speedway has progressed to become one of the shining motorsports venues in the south with new upgrades and improvements awaiting the thousands of fans and visitors on their annual pilgrimage to SpeedWeeks. This year is no different as Golden Isles Speedway owner Frankie Lloyd has continued to upgrade the facility during the off-season adding a new bank of grandstands in the turn one area of the track. A new VIP complex now towers over the speedway along with additional new concessions added to the infield. Lloyd recently announced that beginning in 2008, the final night's main event winner's share of the purse for the Super Late Models will be increased by $2,000 per year to any and all competitors who have participated in the previous year's Super Bowl of Racing action.
