Rich,

Thanks for the info. I was lucky enough to have seen a few shows there. I always left satisfied but thought that it could have been improved with the right set of circumstances.

Rich:
Excellent read- thanks for sharing your story with us who had been there & those who are interested in the history of KL. Very good read & professional writing!

The bleachers are now at the new Vado N.M. track.

Also very interesting-Kentucky to New Mexico. At least they are being used for the original purpose & not recycled into drink cans- lol.

And you can see by this picture, KLMS grandstands are really there at Vado!!!

Recycling at it’s finest for the bleachers!- 👍🏻

[NeedforLMspeed]

I heard somewhere the bleachers from there were either at Vado or New Mexico. Could be wrong.

The purchase of the track for 990K in 2012 was a play with the sole intent of selling back to the government for I69. They had no intention of ever being long term race promoters. They tried to prop the value up to get a govt windfall and their gamble failed. Otherwise, they could have moved the pits and continued racing if they had long term plans.

For those that don’t know, the interstate deal only took the pit area.

$3.2 million

Jesus, maybe half that. That’s a ridiculous price. Be great to see it brought back to life as a race track, but I doubt that.

Shame they just pi$$ed it all away, didn’t try to be a good neighbor.

They probably got 990k or more from the state? Just my opionion -but I think it was all political in getting the track closed. It wasn’t wanted by the local powers at be. Sherri probably took a very large $$ load when it sold for 990k- but I have no knowledge of what she paid for it.

The Heckenast family were not the last owners of this facility. It was Ronnie Jones and Jim Hale.

Paul Purvis wants $1.2 million for Swainsboro. Is KLMS worth more than Swainsboro?

This could have been a great race track but instead it is just another example of racing all night the last time I went there I left at 11 o'clock an they were at least 2 hours from running the feature this was with the oringal owners but once you get that reputation is hard to turn it around that might be why they had trouble with locals.
