After heading rumors of the dirt million being moved to kokomo, it looks like the track is going to get torn down.

Does Kokomo have enough seating for an event of this size? Looked kinda small to me

[brsteg]

Idk what their capacity is now, but they added the nice sized backstretch grandstands in last couple of years.

I've only been once, and I worry about space in general for that type of event not just seating. Maybe they have more property than I saw or know of. They do host a fairly big 4 Day non-wing sprint car event, but not with near the purse as Cody's Dirt Late Model Big One has had.

Well that didn’t last long. Was worth a shot I guess. Can’t imagine Cody comes out on top of this one but I’m not going to knock a guy for trying.

There are rumors that Mansfield is being purchased & will remain a race track.

I sure hope you are right. The facility is awesome. I could also see Cody just running out tracks to hold his events. It makes much more sense to do that than trying to run 8 different things that he is involved in and them all being half assed like the dirt million this year.

The backstretch has a huuuuuge set of bleachers.
I think fan parking would be an issue but do think the racecar haulers would all fit - pits are fairly large with a lot of open space (could easily reconfigure the pit parking to accomodate more haulers compared to how they park weekly).

Track is really nice when it slicks off and gets wide.

Lets wait for gear head to check in. He ALWAYS has all the correct info!!!

[Ne1butBLOOMER]

Erb mentioned it in his interview Friday night as well.

[WisWildManFan]

Did I miss where it was announced Mansfield is done?

At least now you can admit that I was right and you were wrong!

Nothing you have said in the last year and a half has come true. If stupidity could fly you'd be a jet fighter!

The backstretch stands at Kokomo were brand new last season. They are about half as long as the stands on the front stretch, but probably 10-12 rows higher. The rows on the backstretch have a little more room, so I would say the number of seats on both sides of the track are probably about equal.

Kokomo hosts the USAC sprint car smackdown, which I would consider a comparable event to the dirt million (as it was at Mansfield). The pit area at Kokomo could handle the number of late models that show has been attracting. Their main issue would be spectator parking and seating. It was a very good crowd Friday. I’d love to see that Lucas Oil show continue at Kokomo. I would honestly prefer to see the Dirt Million at Lawrenceburg. Great facility that would be comparable to Mansfield and well suited to hosting a major event. Give the Burg their “Whiskey City 60” date back and make it the new Dirt Million.

[JabberJaws83]

The jerk off that promotes Lawrenceburg would never let Cody promote a race there. But, I agree, the facility is perfect

You're mistaken, as usual. Once again I'm right, you're wrong. But you should be used to that by now.
