Nothing can be as bad as Kemper, Don, lol. I am having a positive outlook on this and hope it happens for sure!

One thing Kemper didn't have was a crap ton of racing people already in town for a trade show.

I hope it's a success.....just not sure on the economics and venting. That and the bill for cleaning it will be high. I believe they ran karts and bikes on ice there once.
If it is in conjunction with whatever PRI is called today.... It will have a crowd but I believe Lucas oil is also used for the show.
The Chili Bowl, Ft Wayne and Duquoin are the longest running indoor Midget races I know of besides the old HoosierDome and Atlantic City TQs.
Houston Astrodome, Fargo Dome, Rosemont Horizon, The Sandbox, Silverdome, Indianapolis Coliseum, Springfield IL, Cincinnati, Dayton, Cow Palace, Kemper, and Races in I believe Louisiana,Alabama, Detroit and Canada have all been tried but couldn't catch on. Maybe a race around Milwaukee too. I'm sure there are several other places I don't know about.

I'm close enough that I'll definitely go and support them.

I raced indoors at the Seagate Centre in Toledo in 1999. I believe Columbus Ohio also tried an indoor race too. I enjoyed racing in the Hoosier/RCA Dome, and the FargoDome was a blast too!

how big do you think the track will be? 1/6 mile?

I'd say it will be similar in size to the old Coliseum track at the Indy Fairgrounds. Definitely not as big as the Hoosier/RCA Dome.
