I thought I heard that there was a proposal from the natives to build a casino there and keep the track open.
Hey Folks
Nothing concrete on the track, but this is the latest (news/rumours) as of recently. I have no specific details to share other than word is "something is going" on with Cayuga Speedway. This came out of a town council meeting (here in Cayuga). I assume someone was inquiring at City Hall about permits to operate the track. I was talking to a gentleman last weekend who has close ties to the track. He confirmed that there was "something up". He wasn't totally in the know and able to provide details, but speculated there could be a couple of races in 2012. Possibly full schedule in 2013. Track improvements are being looked into I'm told (re-paving, safer-barriers, refurbished bleachers). Apparently there are some changes/additions in the ownership.
I know we've heard stories before and this could just be another false hope but hope is all we have right now. I get asked from time to time "What's going on with Cayuga Speedway?", but usually have nothing new to offer. This is the latest word around town here in Cayuga.
Take it for what it's worth. If there are any updates, I'll post them.
Here is what I've heard 2 year developement plan schedule racing in for 2013 or 2014.
It seems the new owners who have the track now are still not sure what they want to do, as I heard in may 2011 that all the legal battles have been settled.
They have also have had many offers that have been dismissed and 1 or 2 that are still on the table.
So who really knows if this is all a bunch of feathers without the chicken again.

I drove past the track the other day and noticed the gates were open. So being my nosey self I pulled in. I ran into a gentleman who was on his way out and he was thrilled that people still cared about cayuga speedway. He pretty much backed up what racenut just said, also the ends are going to be picked up 5 degrees. Sounded positive to me. I just moved 10 mins from the track and to hear that things were taking shape was music to my ears. Here's hoping!
one thing that hurt cayuga was getting away from the family atmosphere they had on may 24 weekends...people would camp and bring their kids and they would have a couple of bands and good racing on 2 days...but then the racing was cut back and the track let all the lugens take over with the underage boozing and drugs and music blasting all nite...during the good times it was almost like autumn colours once a month...
