Thanks for the info. Sorry to see any track close but this certainly isn't a surprise. When Dick passed away I was afraid of what might happen. I know Craig tried his best but just couldn't make the money necessary to continue.

It would be a shame to see this facility sit empty and go down hill. The Poe's put a lot of money into it and I always felt the racing was top notch. It didn't matter if it was the supermodifieds, HOSS sprints or the CRA late models, they all put on a great show. I even enjoyed the support series plus they had a great fireworks show on a couple of my trips up north.
