I've been told that is what makes teams such good investments Michael, someone else has all worthless the costs! What are you going to do with an empty stadium?

Not only will the community lose the revenue from the National Event and Divisional Events, there`s also the ET Finals that is run there 4 out of every 6 years. A lot of racers attend that event when its contested there.

I see in early May the city council voted down investing in the track. And a big car show and race there in June has been cancelled. Any news on the remaining schedule and the points races in august?
Wonder what plan B is on the division schedule, Bandimere? Great Bend? Kearney?

Kearney needs 1/4 to 1/2 million dollars to make more paved pit roads, Unless the City of Kearney or Buffalo County chip in dont see that happening!! I wish as it is only 50 miles away from me

It would be nice if Rob Parks would let everyone know what the contingency plan is in advance. If HPT is not open for the back to back divisional races people need to check on hotel availability and cost of travel and if additional time off work is needed for travel.

Hopefully things get resolved soon.

I agree Sean. I planed on making that instead of No Problem. Last year the No Problem trip was $1000.00 for diesel alone.

This is new, so not very promising for Aug.

Randy, it looks like they proposed adding the drive-in.
All of those plans include keeping the track a track, but who knows what's really going on behind closed doors?
