The only activity I have seen there was Mike Miles doing his Mulch bizz. Painted a house next door to Mikes an never heard or seen anyone working the track.

I was wandering about that too! Seems like we heard that there was going to be one back this summer, right?

I've heard talk about making it 3/8 and wider, but then again it could just be talk..

If I owned a race track I would want it to look just like Bloomington Speedway.

It would be pretty hard to improve on perfection.

I kinda of miss the old Lawrenceburg, I take back all the bad things I said about it.

You get the best races and racers at a "BULLRING" !

I used to feel that way about Lawrenceburg, but now I think the 3/8 mile is pretty sweet!

3/8ths to a half is where its at for sprint cars/ bloomington is a lovely facility, but that track's way too damn small

Kokomo and Haubstadt are just the right size, IMO.

There is no 'right' size for a speedway. Every different shape and size offers something different, and that is the beauty of speedway. Short tracks, long tracks, high banked, no banking, it all can offer great racing. The world would be boring if every track was the same.
