Along with all the other tracks that are for sale I assume? Don't hold your breath on this one.

Went to KC alot back in the mid 70's thru the mid 90's. I agree with slide22...it was a great winged track and when USAC ran there in the mid 90's it was good. Used to go there when they ran on Sunday nights back in the 80's. I remember one year end Oct. winged Sat/Sun race that was suppose to pay $10,000 to win. The crowd was decent but not overflowing...after hot laps on Sunday the promoter (at that time I believe it was Russ Conley) called a meeting and said "sorry boys but I can't pay $10,000 to win...If memory serves me correctly it was cut to $2,000 to win abnd I believe Steve Smith in the Black Bandit won the race with Steve Kinser second. It was a great Sunday night track (although I paid for it on Monday morning at work)...you never knew who was gonna show up for the regular shows but I can remember Bobby Allen, Kenny Jacobs, Jim Nace, Rick Ferkel and several PA hot shoes running there. Seems like the economy really hurt KC as the unemployment rate was higher in that part of Ohio than any other place.
