The track will be quite wide all around with 5' of banking in the 60' wide corners . . . great passing opportunities.

Also, check out the schedule posted on the Plymouth Speedway website www.plymouthspeedway.net

Payouts to be announced soon. More updates coming . . .

Really looking forward to this coming together. Northern IN needs a good dirt track. Without Warsaw and Avila Speedways, I doubt I would be a race fan. There is still a good fanbase in that area so I really hope this works out. I'm sure there are a lot of new fans that could be had too.

They should put dirt on Angola and get something going with Butler like Fremont & Attica do.

Any news on who will be promoting Angola this year?

All I know is that Everidge won't be in charge next season.

From what I heard, I thought he was doing a good job. I realize the life of the promoter isn't a bundle of joy. I hope they can find someone who will do a good job and keep the place open. Since Dick is gone, I guess anything is possible.

Yep! Plymouths only 25 minutes north for me.

I thought he was doing a good job as well. He told me late in the season it was the worst year he'd ever had money-wise. It might have been his idea to give it up, I'm unsure.

Thanks. I know it was a tough year weather wise. Just one of the things promoters have absolutely no control over.
