From 5 Flags Media

Pensacola, FL – Construction has begun on a new office (finally) for 5 Flags Speedway.  The contractor completed the slab, and plumbing last week.  The framing of the outside walls, and the inside walls is now underway.

The office is next to the existing temporary office in a mobile home that was brought in after the hurricane in 2004.

We will keep you updated on the progress and hope to be inside by early summer.
