My pleasure. I also looked up (Google) the history of the track. Lot's of neat stuff about it.Thanks Jeff!
gv17,Still not Alexandria (armscanp) which is where this started!
I believe it looks like they will be trying to use the inner 1/8 mile dirt track. The outside 1/4 was paved. They will have to turn over alot of dirt though to make sure the dirt out there is safe.gv17,
When I was there last, I was just at the east end by one of the light poles still there. Was not able to walk it do to time restraints, so I was not sure how far to the west the track went and not sure how far the straight away wall went (or how much of it is still there) but am looking forward to checking it out when I can get down there. I think a banked 1/8 mile would be great myself !
That sucks i am only an hour and a half from there and need a closer track than what is around nowOk here is the deal. The track that they halfass built in there is maybe a 1/12th to 1/16th. It is not graded and looks like a terrible backyard track. They threw a couple tires down on the inside no outside protection from the trash laying out there.
To do it right there is no way it will be ready for 2021! The track needs to be 2x bigger then the one they built out there. They also need to clear the trash out of the facility.
If they would clear out the infield of the old track and truly spent time working on it with proper equipment it would have a chance but as of right now do not hold your breath.
If something changes i will let you know! Doesn't look good! I could have Gaston running in 2 weeks if I had backing. Just do not know if board wants it running.That sucks i am only an hour and a half from there and need a closer track than what is around now

Yeah i was spoiled being a half hour from fort wayne... but when your kid is a great shoe you gotta find alternatives... i really think someone needs to approach gas city or Montpelier and see if they wont start running karts... gas city runs friday nights and montpelier runs saturdays with a curfew at night...They could atleast get an 1/6th in there. Plenty of room. Looks like instead of putting the work in they just what land they could.
Colt ya it sucks around under here right now!
I sold my stuff after Fort Wayne closed. A few from around here still where running Plymouth or going down to Columbus.
