Just moved here from OH and was wondering how the racing is?
What's the typical schedule like? I've heard the facilities have gone downhill over the years. Is there any real fan support left because I've always heard back in the day Kokomo was IT, but now it's not like the good ol days anymore.

Any opinions?

That little compass in your head. You know, the one that leads you to where you ultimately end up? I'm guessing by the end of next racing season, you'll be thinking that your's is working pretty good.:O:

The easy way to find out is to go threw all the topic's on this site that has Kokomo in it which is many and I think you could answer you question yourself!!! Simple as that!!!

If your talking about Kokomo Speedway you will not be disappointed! It has some of the best racing in Indiana if not the best. Facility has had many upgrades in the last few years, reconfigured track, new fence, great lighting to name a few. You will find the best drivers racing there on any given sunday. I believe they start late April or early May thru part of Sept. and in Oct. The Klash.

Only problem I've ever found with Kokomo is that it's in Kokomo. Gets this old timer home at around 3 AM :O: Otherwise, it's a great facility with great racing. I do believe they have the best PA too.

You've heard wrong. Go to Kokomo Speedway in 2009 and see for yourself. :checkered:

actually i think you would be hard pressed to find a racetrack in Indiana you dont like , that runs a weekly show, but you are in the best part of the state for weekly open wheel action, Gas city, kokomo, lawrenceburg are all well within driving distances and all have excellent shows all the time
