This couldn't hurt. Especially when they're talking about "...lasting improvements the host community can enjoy."

Jerry

Such as...

"...hold vintage car races during the month of May to coincide with all the exciting happenings at IMS. Or, the track could be built to modern standards to be used as testing ground for the motorsports community. Or both."

Wheres the mention of dirt sprint cars?

The two words that kinda scare me..."paving it"...:doh:

I like open wheel pavement racing just as much as dirt. So if they pave it that would be fine with me. OK, go ahead and beat me up because I like pavement. I can handle it. I know I'm in the minority here on IOW about this, but it's what I grew up on in the 50's and it's in my blood.

I just think it's pretty neat that this movie could come to fruition.

Pardon my French (cover Juniors eyes if he's reading) but ***?????

Maybe they can race through the doors and down the corridors of the shopping Mall that will be there. :Steer

To me, Terre Haute is hallowed ground, and I hope I can always see the ground there.

You so called "dirt lovers" complain a lot about dirt track conditions almost on a daily basis. So from where I sit, you'd never know you like the dirt. If you pave it - then problem solved.:applaud:

Asphalt is for racin' - dirt is for farmin' - just messin with ya. I like both.
