That is the dumbest decision anybody has ever made. The place is like 2 modern cars wide and doesn’t race worth a f*ck. They can bring it back all they want. They’ll get about as many cars as the recent revival of big WVMS (that is already a failure and the place is closed again).

Bayko,

You beat me to it. This is absolute lunacy in line with the rule makers of this sport. The ineptitude is staggering.

i remember the posts after the last Pennsboro race about how law enforcement wrote a ton of tickets for those parked along the road. Was that normal for races at the track ? Were signs posted ?

They have managed to not open in time and plan to open in a worse way. Huge dent to credibility.

At a loss for words.

I've heard these rumors the past two months, the nostalgia will be cool the first race, then people will lose interest and cars won't show. I don't know why people can't see the writing on the wall (WVMS). Big tracks are dead because of the cost, and this place doesn't stand a chance especially considering how bad the racing was. It's no longer 1995. There were enough locals and uneducated board members that complained enough to make this happen.

Who is footing the $$ for this: Barry or the County?

Barry. I'm not sure a million dollars touches this. Ton of work to be done.

Hope the county and Fair board Dosen’t co-sign his loans!

I don't remember Pennsboro being that rough on engines. I would rather see the big track than that dinky little one they made inside if it. The big track would need to be widened though. And race teams should adapt to the track instead of trying to make the tracks adapt to their desires. Gear up and limit revs, or if you wish not to, then the risk is yours about the motors, etc.

I got one of those tickets. Called the Magistrate office and was told to toss it in the trash. Never heard a thing about it after that. Believe some politician was looking for a quick money grab.

Pre-entry fees from other scheduled events?

They’ll never turn a lap, this is just a way to buy more time to come up with more excuses and keep selling subscriptions

Someone must’ve done the math

Someone must’ve done the math and figured out they were gonna make more in tax money from the track racing and fans at local businesses than from them tickets with less headache

No excavation business is going to show up with equipment unless he gets some assurance that he going to get pd to completion. If not, he will pull out immediately and then trying to get someone to come back in is nearly impossible.

The move back to the original track makes absolutely NO sense with today's racing. If Barry wanted to save himself some time and aggrivation, go down the road and buy WVMS. The ammendies and infastructure are already in place.....oh wait, how did that turn out? Unfortunately times have changed and the Ghost of Pennsboro is a thing of the past
