Saw this last night. Kind of sad he was an @*$

He’s selling everything and is looking for bids to level the track. What a sad situation. He’s definitely got a screw loose.

I always liked that track. I don't know if a person could make money there even if they got it for free. It has been there for a long time, so maybe someone did. Probably in the era when I was a kid, and it was Henry's Speedway. Anyone remember when the American Indy Car Series ran there?

Sad truth is there are too many tracks for the amount of cars and fans out there.

I went there three times when it was KAMP the racing was great. the dust, not so much. Three lanes Look up 2009 sprint week Kamp. Hell of a race.

I guess this is the same guy who races sprint car 3.14 at Haubstadt and ran for mayor of Evansville

I remember it being rock city the two times I was there.

Went there once or twice. Could be a great special event track if done right!

Another one bites the dust. I'd agree with Chuck to a point, yet the closing of racetracks doesn't seem to lead to an appreciable increase in car count or attendance at other places.

Our is an industry that has its own issues, just like other businesses out there.

Kind of off topic since it's not in Indiana, but I found out last week that another track, 411 Speedway in Seymour TN, is having their last race ever at the end of this month. For me personally I hate that it's closing because it's only about 15 minutes from my daughter's house.

Yes Ron, it's the same guy. Not sure how you can successfully run a track over 3 hours away and different time zone. From the closure, I guess you can't.
