Im gonna answer a little differently.

ITS A COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT SPEEDWAY. The grandstands were new in 2001 or 2000 as were the TOP NOTCH concessions and restrooms (For a dirt track facility) That was a 3+ million improvement as well.

It is my understanding from interviews I've hear from Bill Cunningham on Another Bill Cunninghams radio show that all these projects are financed off the interest on the city fund. Which is largely from Casino tax money and is not directly out of the taxpayer pocket as are The new school ballfields, Pool, Improvements, Street projects, Flood wall park ect. He says the casinos could pull out tomorrow but he wants attractions and activities to keep things going incase they do.

I don't know if its actually in future plans or not, But I have heard mention of a possible Pit restroom facility and if necessary a backstretch grandstand. BTW, There will be room to add more grandstands around 3-4 even though they are building a turn 3 grandstand.

Dave, Did I see them starting on the Pit drive thru building last week?
Best wishes to The Burg in "08. Im in agrement with a few other people that this track now is SECOND TO NONE!
