That's a real shame considering that they won a ballot initiative in the general ********. Its almost like harassment from a local government, but that never happens, right? Who cares what the people actually voted for.

i hope they get it resolved. as i’ve saiid in earlier posts, i’d like to have some evening options when coming over to bowl the Hoinke. i’m not big on casino’s so this would work out well. Sprint cars on the bill would just be gravy on top.

Posting here because it was the latest used post.

Edgewater dirt track is being dug up and removed. At least turns three and four of it.

Got some phone pics from uncle but hard to tell, I'll take his word for it till saturday. This track never had a chance. Was built almost to the point of raceable. Walls, fences, lights hung. Graded it could have been hot lapped. Local pressure nixed it, But made little sense with about six other dirt tracks within a hundred miles, Many who can't draw full fields of top division. They owned late models, wanted their own track I guess.

The days of building a new racetrack are gone, just too many people against anything like a racetrack. Back in the day like in the fifties and sixties you could build anything you wanted to build without anyone ********. These people might as well save their money anyway as too many racetracks in one area will not work. Also, the noise and dust can't be allowed anywhere. The Marion County fairgrounds track in Indy is just on borrowed time as the people near there are ******** about the noise. Think not, just look at the dirt track near Phoenix and another near El Paso, they were new dirt tracks and they are in the process of being closed. I can remember racetracks right in town like Phoenix, I've raced there but it's a junk yard now. Any racetrack that is near where lots of people live could be gone in a few years. Take a case like Owen County Indiana has, the land is zoned farmland, someone bought a few acres there to build a wedding chapel and someone bitched. But they could build a hog farm instead. I'm 83 years old and have seen it all, the USA is full of crazies and inbreeds and will only get worse as time goes on. The worst thing that has happened in the last 200 years was the South loosing the Civil War.
