I know it's silly season but seeing some post on Facebook saying Spiker is taking over Bloomington. The bleachers that was put up last year are gone.

Anyone out there with Credible information on this rumor, Dirtfan? Richie?,Spridge?

The bleachers were rented, so I'm not surprised that they're gone. That doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a different promoter.

Re: Bloomington Speedway
 

I read this on a Facebook post guess we will have to wait and see but I have heard multiple people tell me that this is a done deal. Hopefully they talk about this today on the radio show down in Bloomington.

New promoter, tune in to 105.1 tomorrow for more details. Racing program starts at 8:10.

Re: Bloomington Speedway
 

This is the clip from this mornings show at least we know something is happening with a new promoter now.

Bob,several will say credible I'm not,Thanks for the thought tho!
We all need to support our local tracks,period,no matter what.
I'm glad the current promoter stepped up this year,and I Thank them for doing this,even though there were only 7 races scheduled,that's much better than the alternative.
Looking forward I'm happy someone is willing to continue the long standing Friday Night Tradition that Bloomington Speedway has,Thanks go to the Family that owns the track,
they want the tradition to continue as well.
I'm thinking 3 USAC races in 2020,plus maybe a dozen more Friday Night events?
Another positive I think whoever the new promoter is they will have alot more time to make improvements, changes etc.This past season the keys were exchanged on April 1st.
Let's look for an Official announcement maybe @ PRI or the USAC Banquet?

Sounds like great news to me that someone is going to step up.:8: I know my group will be there to support as many races as we can.:22: Hopefully the grandstand situation will improve as well so those that filled the hill in turn 1 can return to their spots.

The stands are gone

Possibly you and Jen could promote?:44:

Re: Bloomington Speedway
 

Dan I heard though the grapevine that you and Jen were taking over. Course that was one bottle from the grapevine and a couple of tokes ;) :D

Re: Bloomington Speedway
 

Confirmed on 105.1 radio show that Spikers will be promoters in 2020.

Anything said about paragon

Re: Bloomington Speedway
 

I know it wont happen but i would like to see them put restrooms on the main level or at least put in some porta potty's so as not to have to walk the hill to get to the restrooms. If the restrooms remain on the hill then i doubt i will be able to attend.

Paragon has some races on schedule for 2020 all are on Friday.

Re: Bloomington Speedway
 

I believe Bloomington is in good hands with Spiker :8:
