I was just bye there a few weeks ago traveling. It looked like it still had a good bit of banking. I still say there should be a weekly modget gtrack in Indiana so those guys have a place to run.

I haven't been, I just heard on the radio that's its got something that no other AMA track has. I'd love for someone to make it into a midget track..it's only 10-15 mins away from me

Not looking to get rich, just have fun and be around racing.

that's exactly what salem needs a real promoter. not to talk bad but car count says it all. plus fri night gate times so early don't help. fri night not bad but some people don't get off before 5:30

Why not try something with twin cities or brownstown rumors always abound about those two places.

You might talk to Keith Ford at Paragon. Rumor has it that it is for sale and sounds like what you are interested in. Good luck in whatever comes your way.

Before Red Hill was closed a few years ago, alot of money was put into it. Mills updated alot of things and it was really a nice place. The only reason it was shut down was a dispute about a liquor license and some local ********, not the lack of fan support. They had very good crowds. I don't think it would take very much to get it back up and running. I will have to admit that I am biased, being that I live 10 minutes from the track.

Know I have said it before, but it would be awesome to see Twin Cities run Sprints on Sunday for those of us who live down south and can't make the long drive to Kokomo on Sunday's.

if you want to start small, try Columbus Fair Grounds
