The Speedway was purchased in 2015 and demolished to make way for additional parking and camping lands for future music festivals. Prior to the closure of Barrie Speedway Burl's Creek held a private race with a number of local celebrities in attendance, most notably Joe Pileggi who came in second place while driving a police car. After Burl's Creek received full zoning of their lands in 2018, Burl's Creek issued a number of sanctions towards The Township of Oro Medonte and several township staff and council members. These sanctions were in response to numerous fines and penalties the township issued to Burl's Creek from 2015-2016. In addition to these sanctions a half a dozen mandates were also implemented by Burl's Creek towards all neighbouring properties that surround the event grounds. These mandates were implemented to prevent local townspeople from using the event grounds lands for personal use on foot or utility vehicles.
