Baer Field in Fort Wayne announced today they're putting in a quarter mile dirt track within their pavement track(s) to run select shows.

Interesting play given the uncertainty around Gas City.

Pelier only runs maybe a handful of sprint shows, both wing and non-wing, a year.

And there's no telling what they'd run in Fort Wayne.

Three beautiful words. NEW DIRT TRACK !!

Could this be another Plymouth type situation where they try it first then make a decision on weather or not to become a full blown dirt track?

What's wrong with Dave's head..True it is a new dirt track,,,, but he has a hard time with everything else he has going..Top Speed has suffered a bit since taking over Baer Field

It is a shame they can't get a promoter to step up at Gas City. Just concerned that if no one steps up could be gone for good which would be a disappointment. As for a new track I wish them luck. Going to be tough to pick a night to run without a lot of competition for cars and fans.

I guess I don't look at this as a new track when it is an existing race facility that has multiple tracks on the grounds. I hope it works and wish them luck. Don't see people whining but just have questions and again you would have thought owners would have a plan ready to communicate if they are going to make an announcement like this.
