hot rod truck Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Wow Dale that sucks I thought the track was owned by the county since it's on the fairgrounds property What about New Hope Dragstrip? It's not too far away Edited February 22, 2009 by hot rod truck (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevcup47 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Im looking at New Hope, freedom, and Indy. i know im not going to be able to run any place for points due to having to tow so far now. but maby ill still get to run every now and then ..............the track here is leased out by the fair board. and they are a really had bunch to deal with. then you have to add in the up keep on the track , insurance , and all that bull. so its not looking so good for us home town guys anyway.

IndySilveradoSS Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 damn bro, sorry to hear that, i was looking forward to runninh my truck at the haute this year. does this mean the dirt track is gonna close also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevcup47 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 No the dirt track and the drag strip are ran as seperate deals and with seperate promoters. go figure the dirt track has people from Terre Haute First national Bank backing them. just have to see what happens to the strip. im hoping they find a new money person or persons for sure. its sad to see the nations verry first 1/8th mile NHRA sanctiond track go down this way .

Jaymz Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 That sucks man.. hope it all works out.. They took away our 1/8th mile sprint track at the Black Hills Speedway last year due to financing problems... Seems like alot of tracks are calling it quits.
