Champ cars would probably work on WVMS and Pennsborro. But WVMS had huge fans support when it reopened but car counts quickly dwindled despite high purses.
Lucas Oil late models ran there last year and only pulled 20 cars. Lowest car count of the season. Had it not rained out the feature, they would have been lucky to have 10 cars finish.
I’ve not been to a race there but have been past it many times. You can see it from rt 50 & I stopped once to see it.
While it may indeed be a 1/2 mile don’t think about other tracks you’ve been too. To call it unique is an understatement. It’s an odd shape & I believe there may be a bridge or 2 in the track.
I wish them well & plan to go to the sprint races

It was featured on one of Dale Jr's. Lost Speedway series. Quite honestly, I know that it has a history, but I don't understand why someone would want to bring it back to life. It seemed like something destined for the history books.
I also remember reading on social media that when asked about his best/worst tracks that Johnny Gibson would always rank this as his worst track. When you watched the Lost Speedway series you could see why.
As you said, anyone spending money on a new track deserves our support, but this one is facing long odds.
