Three years ago Terre Haute Action TRack was dormat.
Racing series refused to run there with the previous promoter
The track had water halfway up the track due to bad drainage.


Last year the track ran 6 races.
The track drains and no longer has water on track on race day
You can go to the track with your family and get in very cheap.
The promoters care about the track, not so much about the money (don't get me wrong, they are in it to gain a little, but they don't do things cheaply as others have).


So to you who say bad things about THAT, what would you rather have? A track that isn't open or one that is? And to those who say they could do better, why didn't you try?

Terrhautian, well said. When I read some of the complaints posted on IOW not only about THAT but sprint car racing in general I am reminded how quickly Manzy went away. I am also reminded any track owner or promoter can pull the plug at anytime. So, to those that like to complain appreciate what you have while you have it.
