Hello, My name is Tim Kelley and I am shopping for the opportunity to promote a track in the southern Indiana area. A fairgrounds, or established, it doesn't really matter. Wanta start small and grow. Please let me know of opportunities. Thanks

May want to check Chandler Motor Speedway......I think it is normally for sale or lease.

Terre Haute Action Track certainly needs a promoter. I noticed that a link has been posted by sw1911.

Go up north and purchase or lease Kamp motor speedway. That would be my first choice. The track was always pretty good.
Then there is vermillion county speedway, terre haute, and there is a lot of fairgrounds with unused 1/4 mile tracks.

Here is an awesome track directory.

If you click the state you want near the bottom of the page it will bring up google maps with icons everywhere there is, or has ever been, a race track. Very cool page.

Just east of Vincennes, IN is a beautiful 3/8ths mile track in Sumner, IL - Red Hill Raceway.

Last time I was there, I believe the track would need ALOT of updates to run sprint cars even on a semi-regular basis.

I figure that would be the case with most of the tracks that may be available. Thats why It might take a year or so to update for sprints and midgets. Has anyone heard anything about the fairgrounds track in salem. I would love to have that place. A track to build and give drivers, car owners, and fans stability. Not looking to get rich, just have fun and be around racing.
