I talked with Kenny a few years ago at Ft. Wayne. He told me that the University decided to put a Hockey Rink in. The cooling system for the rink was installed in a place that limited access to the arena. He said it was a great place to race, and that if the university ever took the cooling system out, he would host events there again. I went to a Monster Jam event at the Nutter center last year. The cooling system has been removed. Not sure if he knows but it looks like a good place to have some indoor racing. The only other thing I am unsure on is the EPA regulations. In Cincy they are extremely strict on air quality. Not sure if anything has changed.

I remember seeing a new kid there at the race that I'd never heard of before. I think his name was something like Ryan Newman.

He was driving a Mel Kenyon owned car IIRC.
