    Yup...

    I live in CT 2+ hours from any track (we dont have one in state) and with Etown being threatened that might lesson the chance I have a track under 3 hours. It really is a shame.

    Did any of you hear about the budget for "auto race tracks" built into the recent $700 billion Economic Bailout plan? I heard bits and pieces on the news, but I'm wondering if we will actually see any of that in action.

    I wonder how it will affect drag strips?

    Strype, you can always come up to my neck of the woods and race at the Sand mountain speedway. Would like to see some more cars t ohelp combat these crotch rockets that think they own the track .

    You hadn't heard that before? I guess there was like $100 million built into that bill to help relieve the taxes on race track owners, but it looks like it was more aimed at NASCAR and IndyCar.
