Anybody know what Ponderosa and 201 is going to do this year ? Been looking but can't find no info on them. Also what about M&K/Mountain Motor speedway how is the racing at this track ?

I too heard Ponderosa is not running. Havent heard anything about 201. Seen some races @ 201, that's a fast little bullring.

I made a road trip from Lexington, KY to Dallas, TX a couple of weeks ago. I passed three closed dirt tracks on the way, two in Kentucky - Bardstown and Kentucky Lake. What happened to Kentucky Lake?

The other was in Texarkana.

KLMS was forced to close because of the highway construction.

If 201 and Ponderosa don't open this year is there any other tracks in the middle to southern part of Kentucky other than Richmond & Lake Cumberland that run SLM ?

One Man Gang, Clay Valley (formerly Lonesome Pine) in Coeburn, VA is right near the KY line. I'm hoping some KY cars can come down to it this year.

Mudlick outside of tollesboro is trying to reopen again. They have been working on it as late, and it looks pretty good so far. It's been sitting since 2007.

Not unless the new track in Corbin opens, but I've not heard anything about it lately, and they have not posted anything on the Facebook page since October

A year or so ago there was talk, and even some work done on Clay City, but havent heard or seen anymore on it either.

I’m not sure when it’s supposed to open, but the track layout looks terrible

Definitely looked interesting watching cars on it. Looked small in size, wide in surface, and probably not all useable but that depends on banking

Chris Tilley was promoter to Ponderosa last year and earlier in this year he posted a video on Facebook telling everyone that he would not be promoting Ponderosa this year because of everything else he has going on. He said they were looking to talk with Lucas officials about moving the Ponderosa date or if someone else wanted to promote the place they would be more than welcome to. Haven’t heard anything since. I live 45 mins from the track and every time I pass there it looks really deserted. Nothing going on. 201 I have heard nothing about about and was wandering about the new track in Corbin. Richmond and lake Cumberland is only two places in central my that I know of that is currently going to run super Lms on regular basis. Anyone else have any insight

Looks to be a few tracks sitting still in Eastern Kentucky - Ponderosa, 191, 201. What's Willard Speedway doing?

Agreed but recall waynesfield 1st opening and couldn't use top, 1&2 had great banking but loose crap, 3&4 was much flatter and again nothing there. Forward year and top of both turns useable. Track surface and prep will probably determine useable surface but could be fun track
