Who is the person that knows the most about the history of Kentucky Lakes Speedway?
I think maybe Richard Cunningham would have a lot of history on the place.
It's just another nice race track that nobody new how to run just put it on the list with all the others.
Yep Death by stupidity....Quote:

Thanks for the contact name, yes its to bad the track never made it, it was an awesome facility.Quote:

Last I knew part of it was being used for a new interchange.
What has been reported on here before from people from that area, is that the original guy didn't try to make "friends". True or not, I dunno, but he sure as he!! made enemies.
That place was doomed, and a shame, absolutely beautiful. But that crazy curfew, and the weird Sunday evening stoppage, crazy. And to top it off, there's literally a highway directly behind the track. But yet they were worried about noise. More like they were pi$$ed and just didn't want the track. And had the locals on their side to make sure it failed.
Track configuration was one of the main problems. That curved front straight made it almost impossible to sit anywhere near the bottom of the stands. The dust and rocks were a real problem.
Was there 2 times and there were some places you just bid not seat, The track did have a odd shape to it I though it was way to wide...Add being too wide a lot dirt and rocks went in to the stands that should of hit the wall.. seen one person bleeding from a rock one night i was there..Quote:
