So apparently THAT has a promoter for 2024, since they have a race scheduled there.

Looks like it’s Spiker.

Looks like some miss information. This was on the Terre Haute Facebook page.

Here is a screen shot if it below.

Strike one.

My big concern is that I hope it’s on Flo, because of the IRA co-sanction, and the fact IRA is already a Flo participant

Here you all go. Hopefully this helps answer your questions.

Better check replay cam.

No wonder it is tough for a promoter to make it at Terre Haute. Most schedules are already finalized. No one in place to put together a schedule. Makes it hard to get good dates.

This year was definitely a weird year at that, to be honest I didn’t know if bill rose was running the show or if he was just the named person and the fair board was. It seemed more that it was the fair board. Then today’s post made it more what the heck.

Overall I want the track to succeed and not play who is the new promoter every year or so. I think the only way is to get the fair board out of there by selling that portion of the property to one promoter. The drag way lately seems to be change promoters every 2-3 years. The downside to selling the property would be if it failed, it could be sold for development and that would be worse.

These type of Facebook posts don’t help with the overall confidence of the track.
