Looks like a nice place. Never know what the new owners may have in mind or even who they are. Was the place making money?


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

From reading the comment below it sounds like some local farmers may have bought it. And it does look like a nice track. What a shame

IIRC, it is a full concrete track.

Another one bites the dust... frown


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Been there before..........VERY nice track. But Indiana farm land brings PRIMO dollar, as they sure aren't making any more open land. So if the farmers think the LAND will make them more in producing food than it cost them. It's an easy decision to make.

Running a small race track is hard. There are ZERO guarantees of what you will make. This is money in pocket. Feel sorry for the racers, but the track owner did what he felt he must
