About 2-3 years ago, the Vigo fairboard announced they had used the parking fee to put up new light poles on the infield, and showed pics of the work being done. I can live with the parking fee if they put it to use maintaining or improving the facility, unlike the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
I'm glad to see a half mile is remaining. Sprint cars belong on a half mile.

OMG! That is the most accurate thing I’ve ever read on this or any other message board! Well done, sir, well done!
I believe in the ability of the hardcore motorsports fan to find something to complain about. Furthermore, I’m equally confident that no matter what the issue is (dry track, muddy track, too expensive, not a high enough payout, too many classes, too low a car count, lasted too long, didn’t get to see enough racing, et cetera, et cetera) that this group of esteemed supporters will be able to argue which ever side of the argument necessary, AND with equal fervor. All hail the open wheel fan!

Lets go racing.
The board making announcements about the track got my attention also.
As for the new promoter, this is the fourth promoter in a little over ten years including one that left not on their own accord. I wish the track luck but until there is a few years of success without a promoter change, I won't breathe easily the track will be around for a very long time. There is so much commercial development in that area and the racing side is only used really for racing. During fair week, it is used but there is other facilities that can be used in teh same way on the opposite side of hte property. The drag racing track is already looking for a new promoter after the current one. They are done after this year after only a few years.
I will do what I can do with work stuff to make sure it gets coverage though.
Trying not to hijack the thread but I don’t know how exactly to take the Pitdad’s post. Are paying customers not allowed to criticize what they spend their money on? Are there not things worthy of criticism? Long Live THAT!
