Sure hope that it does happen, that always was my favorite track because of the shade trees, but I understand that they are all gone! HEMI JOE

Have they done away with the 45 degree approach to the starting line, have they done away with all the waves in the drag strip itself? If they have, I might even go back over there every once in a while. July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.

EDIT: sorry, yes it does They have not only done away with the 45* approach and waves in the track..... they have done away with EVERYTHING!

They are turning the track around and moving the entrance to RT42. Plans show stadium style seating on both sides with a tower over the starting line. At this point, the past year has been spent moving dirt. I believe they are currently working on drainage. They still have ALOT to do, but I believe they are getting closer to paving and construction phase. Really amazing to see the change so far, hope they see it through (and finish it in my lifetime )
