I’m certainly not a track manager or race promoter…….. and maybe I’m way off base here…….. but it seems like it could be one of those, “if you open they will come” scenarios.
Maybe start out with a Street car night every other week.
Test n tune and a gamblers race type of thing.
Put it on the schedule so people know you’re open for business.
In any case……. Hopefully they figure out a way to keep the business alive.

They had a schedule last year, why not go with that?
They could certainly do truck drags. Some of their drivers have um, not stock engines.

They had a schedule for '24, even had a Hot Rod Classic race (Now at 42) but at the last minute they pulled the plug on the season. No official reason has been given ( lots of speculatory BS has). Time will tell. It is a nice track that just recently has had a bunch of $$ put into it . Its in a good location (from my opinion) just 15-20 min south of RT 90 that crosses the top of Ohio. Its an easy 3hrs from here. so hoping things turn around...

I’ve raced there many time with the UMTR. Nice track. I wish the owners would get their act together and run the track professionally.

They could certainly do truck drags. Some of their drivers have um, not stock engines. The (uphill) semi drags are still a go. I haven't heard anything about the go cart track or model airport.
