Chuck,

As of a couple of weeks ago they will still working with the Conservation district to acquire more land for the pits. It sounded like it was going to go, they just had some details to work out. The boy and I went down on Saturday and I agree that they have some work to do to make 3 and 4 equal to 1 and 2. I think that they will be raising the infield some also. We are definitely looking forward to some racing.

Take care all,

Shane

My hope is that Dave has two or three practices on it. Plus the first nights racing before the USAC show. That or have that Sheepsfoot dozer make a thousand laps.

Was about the fourth week when the track really came in top to bottom last year, The night of the FAMOUS GAINES/PETTY SHOOTOUT where I bet in the feature they were breaking the track record repeatedly and both were so fast that a bobble by the leader took both out.

I think the banking and shape of the track is gonna add a lot more into not only two or three groves but crossovers into and out of the turns.

Just got word three and four are being raised some more and that it's unlikely you could see the much of the track from the top of a hauler.
