Midamerica you think that it really matters how many show up for the last race before the new track is built? These guys are putting a ton of money to build this track and I think they already have some big events coming to the new track and this will bring in the fans.
A CASCAR race isn't going to prove anything. People that will attend the last race are people that attend CASCAR races and people who want to see the place one last time before they build the new one.
The new owners already know what they are going to spend way before the thought of this last race. Yes by all means go out and show your support but this is not going to affect what is going to happen after this race.
The new owners have to focus on the media as the old owners didn't treat them very well and a lot of them never came back. I was one of them and I know a couple of others that were not impressed on how we were treated. If you were on the board a few years back you would have read my message after I got back from there.
Someone mentioned safer barriers. This will be installed if they ever want too see a NASCAR event at their track,
From what I can see the new owners have done their homework and this is going to be the best racetrack in CANADA.
I can't wait to go too the new track and I'm sure I'm not going too be disappointed.
Have a good weekend
BTW I disagree heartily that it should be D shaped. The only reason for a doglegged frontstretch is for better visibility from the seats. At Cayuga that's already not a problem.
Progressive banking would be cool.....

1/4 is now 3/4 and I have added 7/8 for those that vote for that size.

Get rid of the tower in the infield the haulers are no problem
Hi Jim, I don't recall the track allowing the haulers inside while the races were running these past few years? They always park them at the back, don't they?
Seems to me, I've been there for a few practices while the haulers were in the infield and I think if you were sitting in the lower sections, this could cause problems?
I think what they might want to consider, is if they ever get the big shows in town, ie., the NCTS & the NASCAR Mods and or NASCAR/CASCAR at the same time, there is a possibility there could be anywhere from 60-80+ rigs in the infield at one time, now that could cause a visability problem if things weren't layed out properly???
If they're going to rebuild the track, they may as well do it right. And keep all the infield buildings, tech, etc, low. Look at Bristol, there's very few seats that you can't see the entire track from. What they did down at DIS, putting that 4 story building for the media (or whatever) in the infield, ruined the view for about 50% of the fans, if you ask me, so I do agree with you about the tower. Besides, who wants to go to a race, if you need to watch it from the monitors, you may as well stay home and watch it on TV. The monitors are nice however if you want instant replays.
