If they have a crowd as large as Bloomington for their track and considering The 'Burg is a lot larger track, they will be parking cars on US 50.
My question is, who caused this conflict of interest? If The Burg scheduled this race knowing about the bike ride, shame them. If the Fairgrounds scheduled against the track,knowing there was a major event scheduled, then shame on the Fairgrounds.
The racing was good at Bloomington and I was looking forward to another good night, but with situation as it is, I pass.
I also noticed that there were very few blankets down and a considerable lack of campers that you have for a major show.Where will all the campers park that usually park by the shelter area?
It will be interesting to see what happens.
There is PLENTY of parking out in the fields by the motorcycle track. You are getting worked up over nothing. It is not the first time they have had that AFR ride during the races by any means.
If you aren't bringing a camper or RV then why are you worried about it? Go park, find a seat and enjoy the races! What is the big deal? Yes, it will be confusing to some people, but it shouldn't be a deal breaker by any means, expecially if you know in advance to simply drive in the fairgrounds and GO TO THE LEFT.
BTW - The city owns the entire fairgrounds INCLUDING the track. They call the shots.
