I'm assuming the USAC Silver Crown/Midget show at North Wilkesboro won't happen now that the old legendary speedway is closed after a second attempt to revive the facility.

Bummer, too. I wrote a Master's thesis about the place.

One of the great short tracks in Amercia. Sorry to see it close again. I hope if/when the economy improves, someone with deeper pockets can come on board with a business plan to make this work. For now.

I was thinkng about going for the USAC event there this year, money permitting. I was there back in '96 and thought it was a very nice facility.

USAC keeps losing races left and right. Here is two more gone and they call ill afford to lose any more.

No, that would be Rockingham Speedway.
