What's the real chances of this race happening? Pics I saw looked like track was a long way from being ready and there are no stands. Any updates?:11:

This race will happen guareented. Yes there are no bleachers they have been taking them out do to insurance reasons. There is a huge hill side for seating so bring lawn chairs and blankets to sit on. The mayor has spent thousands of dollars on this event and the go greensburg comittee has been working very hard to make this event a true success for the city. The mayor will have the racing surface in great shape for this event.
Admission is $5 for adults or $10 for a whole family pit pass $25. This race will happen no matter what. It is a shame that the city has put a ton of work and money for this event to make this a premeire event for the tqs and then people r getting on here saying it ain't going to happen. These people are just tring to ruin a great event the city of greensburg has put together

I dont recall seeing anybody saying this race wasnt going to happen or downing the efforts of the city. I posted pics of what I saw and expressed doubt, But also the first thing I said in that post was that I really hope this race happens. So not really sure why you are saying people are trying to ruin a great event.

I can't wait for next weekend!!!! I'll be attending the parade,car display, and race.... Thanks to all involved who are making this race possible!!!!

The GOGreensburg event will take place Saturday, April 28. Rain date Sunday April 29. The track will receive the utmost attention regarding its preperation. We want a smooth race track. Rumor is someone already has been on the track yesterday evening. The grand stands have been removed, but there is much green grass on the hillside and lawn chairs and blankets are welcome. The Go Greensburg committee and I have put a lot of work and effort into these events. Check it out on www.gogreensburg.org. There will be concessions in grandstand area, and in the pits. There will be a parade, we would encourage all that can to participate,line up starts at 9am until 10:30. Please call if interested so we can get you entered. Call 812-663-6970 ASAP. All race cars are welcome to display their cars on the square right after the parade for 60 to 90 minutes before going to the track. Please come bring family and friends and have a good day racing.

In no way did I mean to hurt the Greensburg race with my question.

I simply had a question as to the status because of the photos I saw on IOW last week. We just wanted to know for sure so other plans could be made in case something would happen. Race drivers want to race and a backup plan is needed.
