They were complaining almost before the first race there. They didnt help themselves a few times by shooting fireworks at about 10:30. Hopefully they run a quick efficient show and learn to get along with the neighbors.

This isn’t a situation of a rural track where a developer came in close by. The residents were there first so the track should have been taking every step they could to show they were being considerate to the neighborhood. I’m sure the original promoters meant well, but between this and lack of track prep show they were in over their head. |

At least Gas City I-69 is going to run some races in 2023. Maybe they can build a team and attract the sponsorship and develop the process that will allow them to get back to weekly racing. If not, a partial schedule is still better than the shuttering of another racetrack

I really hope things work out for Gas City and that they will be able to resume weekly shows soon. I know for my my pops and quite a few of the old guard they looked forward to their Friday nights at GC. I know one of the supervisors at the shop took half days so he could get his dad there and sit in the pit bleachers. I think of Paul Hazen and all the Friday nights he has spent there it’s going to be strange this summer for sure. We will look forward to the chances we get and hope we get great weather. Hate it has come to this but I understand it is a business and it’s not my money, thank you for not pulling plug entirely.

Again Nathans1012 thank you for posting this and taking the time to do so. That's for certain the only positive in this. I refuse to pat someone on the back that doesn't deserve it much less say thank you for running a track into the ground in 1 season that someone else worked their tail off and took 4 years to build up. We miss you Jerry, thank you for everything you did.
