Is this rumor true? I sure hope so...

I sure hope not... We have enough quarter miles in Indiana. I like the variety.

I have no idea and unless you can provide a link to something that says otherwise. I'll consider this RUMOR for now.

Did hear rumor floating around top row of section A sat. night, that there may be some other work done but nothing as to changing track dimensions.

That's what I heard Merrill. It will end up as a big 1/4 or a 1/3.

I was told that Dave sent in a request to the fair board to cut down the track/re-configure at the request of all most all his teams/drivers. I doubt that this will happen anytime soon but it is very clear that most teams will not run Lawrenceburg weekly and more would if the race track was smaller like it used to be.... I enjoy racing there but agree that for the The Burg to ever get 30-40 cars weekly again something with have to change!

I hope so, the change ruined Lawrenceburg racing wise. If they don't do something it wouldn't surprise me if it became a special event only track.

I would welcome the change!

It's probably B S ,,but if its true hopefully they will leave the big track in tact maybe cut some banking out to make it flatter.
Then maybe cut a nice track inside of the big track and bring back the old bullring style of track with all the run off room for a little forgiveness that won't eat up cars and motors.
The big track is great but just not for the weekend warrior type of racer.
Use the big track for specials WoO ,Lucas, Arca......I would still like to see the Dirt Champ cars run at the Burg and East coast style mods ,big and small blocks.

Personally if the purse was left like this weekends Gaines Classic. I think it would help

As for the track, Merrill already said no change to size. However if they did build a quarter inside. Id like it kinda flat AKA Kokomo without the wall.
