The article states that the gorunds that the racetrack in on, is going to have new people in charge. Find these people and ask them what their plans are. DO NOT WAIT AND SEE!!!
Admittedly I serve on a village board. I do know that money talks no matter what. I would hate to lose a track like Farmers City. There have been talks now (to my knowledge) for 5 years that the ground the track resides on is worth huge moeny in tax value if the fair board were to sell it. That land has prime access to I-74. It's a reasonably sure thing the motion will pass. I don't have a dog in the fight other than the track hosted a few races I have attended and when there were openwheel cars there I went. Now with no openwheel races there, I don't attend races there.
I hope the track can avoid the inevitable closure.
