I asked and posted here because this is likely the best place to ask any questions regarding Kokomo Speedway.....

I know this is most sprint car folks on here, but I love all types of racing, and I noticed something earlier today while looking at the Kokomo schedule.

The XR Super Series Late Model race that was scheduled for Monday, September 2nd a few days before Eldora's World 100 weekend has been dropped and rescheduled for the Saturday portion of the Kokomo Klash. Does anyone have any word on this or is this news to all?

My biggest question is if this is the case where in the heck where they fit the giant late model haulers that are likely to show up with the UMP Modifieds, Street Stocks, & 4 Cyl. Hornets?

I've heard that the Reece has been taking down trees on the back (west) side of the pit area by the train tracks since about the middle of June. I wonder if it was to help expand parking for this 2-day show which isn't a bad idea since the pit area is usually pack and overflows into the parking lot areas.

Screen shot of the Kokomo Schedule (If you enlarge the picture, you can see it better).

My guess is the drainage pit in the back stretch parking lot has been filled in, graded and graveled. It was used as a golf cart parking over the weekend and had heavy equipment parked there when i pulled out with the camper Sunday afternoon. I can confirm the over flow camping along the rail road tracks were in very nice shape and could definitely be used if needed. And yes, there’s a gate that can be opened in the back of the pits if anyone is wondering.
