    And that is totally understandable. If the track already has a promoter, then they should promote any races held there.

      I haven't gotten to watch the race of DoD yet? Was it good racing? Do you think this will be a good move? Have the dates for the Million event been confirmed yet? Will it be August 20, 21 and 22, 2020?

        i was there Friday and the racing was fantastic. Multiple grooves for a 1/4 mile track. As far as seating Cody could always bring in temporary bleachers. Kokomo has farm fields to the west and east of the track that runs parallel to both the front and back straights. Maybe they have a plan in place to secure parking space. it would be doable but it will be tight. Bring it to Kokomo Cody!!

          I was there as Kokomo is one of my favorite tracks. Two hours from home. That would be awesome to see the Dirt Million at Kokomo.

            Let me see if I got this correct he had a race track and couldn't run it so now he is going to put on a show at a race track that is well run I don't understand this at all.

              Well, Cody was the promoter of the Kokomo event last week.

                  This happens every weekend all around the country Cody isn't the first to promote a race at a track someone else owns..

                    The DTWC has seemed to work out just fine with someone promoting a race at someone else’s track. Many of the World of Outlaws (sprints) shows are like that.

                    The Dirt Million would probably have to change dates if it moved to Kokomo. It has been the exact same days as the Sprint Car Smackdown.

                      All you do is bash him no matter what. He didn’t own Mansfield, he couldn’t afford to risk putting in the money to get good actual clay, and then having it sold out from under him. He was screwed from the start. And then with the sh!t surface and not owning it, totally screwed.

                      Maybe you can buy it lock stock and barrel. Show him how it’s done.
                      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                        While i think the weather is really what will autimetly put the final nail in Mansfields coffin(and i really hope this doesn't happen). Cody didn't do it or himself any favors this year. He showed the fans zero consideration the whole event seemed to have a "i don't give a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) where out of here after this" type of feel to it. Especially to those of us who camped. I have been to two dome races and both dirt million races. And at this point i don't know if I'll give another dime to cody. And with out fan support his events will die.

                            heard talk at sprint week that kokomo is trying to buy some of the field across the street behind the railroad for additional parking and a drainage pond

                              Mansfield it is worth more as an industrial site than a race track, IMO, dont see the place lasting long.

                                The shape of the track would never allow great racing
