Chris, or anyone with good info on what's going on currently with Twin Cities, that early post has been lost somewhere, and we all need an update once in a while, especially on something that important. Thanks! Bob

Was told at Charlestown on Sunday that the King of Indiana TQ series would be there twice next year.

Well, that's good news, more would be better, but maybe there will be more. Thanks, Billy! Bob

I unfortunately know just as much as you guys right now until the schedule comes out, right now they are just working on the surface, they dont have the funding to completely replace the catch fence, which is why Mr. Allison needs to help out instead of just collecting his rent money. Ill hopefully have some new news soon.

With the right owner, this place could be an excellent track. However, nobody in their right mind would lease this from DA and sink a ton of money into it thinking they were going to make a go of it. If they do, I wish them all of the luck in the world. They are going to need it.
Too bad as I really enjoy the racing there. The catch fence needs replaced and the bleachers need some attention as well. Since LPS updated the men's room, Twin Cities has now become the stink hole when it comes to the men's club.

I got to agree with you, awnunn, to me the fence was secondary to the list of importance, yes it would have been great to have a 200k fence all around, but if that wall didn't keep you in the bounderies, what would a chain link yard fence help? It did add some bit of slowing the "missle", but that was about it, as long as the paying customers were at least within what the insurance co mandated, that was about all it amounted to, yes, I'd like to see a good, "safe" catch fence, but I still feel it was "safe" to race there, and I don't blame Mason one bit, for not spending anymore than he had to, to keep it open, why let Allison have the benefit of his labors, Allison doesn't care, if it runs or not, what would be an eye opener, is if it sat idle for a while, and he had to pay for it himself, bet things would change. Good luck guys, and we'll support you all we can, and keep after people to come to TC, for a night of good racing! Bob
