Save Vigo County Fairgrounds & Action Track... Sign the Petition

It's like a snow ball rolling down hill, now! A 4-Her from Terre Haute South High School started it. IOW gave it the numbers to get the attention the Tribune Star and now the community is joining in. I bet there are a thousand signatures by the time the weekend is over.

You seem to on top of things there. When is the next time the Fair Board meets, or whomever has the say of selling the fairgrounds ?
It seems to me that a huge presence at that next meeting might make a difference, I live in Evansville, but would be glad to drive up to be at the meeting as I'm sure a bunch of Midwesterners would. Please see when the next important meeting is and put it on the net, I would think that a crowd of race fans from all over miht make a difference.

Mid february is all that Dave Hartmann said this week. As soon as I hear an exact date, I'll post it here.

It was featured on WTHI news, last night, also:

As you can see, this has become a big story here and is has definitely caught the attention of the Fair Board.

Jerry,
I live in Terre Haute and have recently retired, if there is anything I can do to help
let me know. I have raced there (ok, I spun out .......alot) and was a "Track Rat" under Mr. Hopton's group.
I was # 1166 to sign.
