With racing scheduled to start Thursday at the new venue, wondering if any of you have been out there and checked it out? If anyone has give us your thoughts.

I haven’t been inside but I’ve been buy it and the facility looks great. They showed the practice last week on Facebook and looked pretty good for a new race track.

The test & tune live stream looked good, except I didn't see any protection on the end of the wall at the track exit; hope that was an optical illusion or it gets fixed before opening night...

The track looks like it’ll be racy. It’s small, but wide enough to create some interesting lines. I think it’s going to be an excellent midget track. I too hope to see safety improvements in that opening in the wall. I also don’t really care for the outside retaining wall being so low. I’d like to see tires or hay bails stacked on top of it if it’s going to be that low. Just asking for a head protruding out of a rollcage and hitting that wall in the event of a flip. Nobody wants to see anyone get hurt. Especially when we can foresee how it might happen and did nothing about it. Other than that...I really wish this track nothing but the best! I think it’s fantastic for Indianapolis, and the dirt racing community in general!

CMI. I too wish them nothing but the best and am looking forward to my first visit. I was just wondering about the track surface and sight lines and what not. I’m sure there’s going to be a few bugs to work out but I agree, a great dirt track in Indy is a good thing

Only issue I see is that it’s the dirt that was there they didn’t bring any clay in. That stuff was terrible before
