Unfortunately it appears that another famous track in our Country is closing.
55 Year Old State Fair Speedway in Oklahoma City, OK has been told to cease and desist immediately, due to ADA regulations compliance issues. They were supposed to have until 2012 to become compliant but leave it up to the Politicians to get involved. They Mayor shut them down now. Below is the Link to the News Cast and interview with the Mayor.
A petition has been formulated by some of the guys that race and attend the facility. It can be found on another link below. I would like to call on the IOW faithful to sign this petition in a show of support. Even if they don't reopen this track, which would be a shame, they may open another elsewhere in OKC. If we all show our support it may help the cause. Many of the Indiana Teams have raced there for years, including ours, with the TNT Series. It has been a regular stop for years. Coleman and our entire team have enjoyed racing at this very fast joint.

Here is the link to the "SaveFairSpeedway" site with details and the link for the Petition:

I know it is a sign of the times but perhaps the power of the IOW group can help make a difference.
Thanks,
