I don't think the $$ is the problem here and certainly the whole speedway grounds would not be open, Probably just the north tunnel. One concession or some trailered concessions. one restroom (Bigger than most any dirt track restroom anyway) IM not so sure this isn't outside the track behind the turn three grandstand IDK. If inside and could utilize one of the video boards, that would be huge plus.
Smoke has said his intention is to race at least a little while after Leaving Nascar It wouldn't surprise me for a WoO or All Star race to be held there. But as the article says. Initially Midgets.
I also don't think it fits the IMS model but kept confined. layed out right. All the would be needed is jersey barrier wall and they probably got old fence or extra fence stuff at the track. Keeping it confined in a local area controls the cost of staff etc. And doing it to honor a former USAC triple crown winner, IRL Champ and Nascar and Brickyard Champ is just plain
Rushville Rocket Raceway!
It could have four or five events, Hey, Bring back Thursday Night Thunder with some TV, One or two events per class, WoO, USAC Sprint and Midget.
There goes my Glass half full meter.
