Slowpoke 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2017 I just got off the phone with Bill Lay's son (Bill Jr. aka BJ) who has been one of my best friends for years. In this conversation, he told me that the spectator entrance has been packed and leveled, and that he saw men in hi-vis clothing and hard hats standing on one of the turns holding clipboards and pointing off into the distance. Does anybody know what's in the works for the old lady? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realfast 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2017 I was by there yesterday morning about 9:30 and it looked bad. Grass growing tall in the track and around and bushes coming up though the stands. But it didn't look like anything was done or being done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slowpoke 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2017 Dang, I was really hoping for some good news. I guess I'll have to make a trip up that way and see for myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesHigdon 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) I had talked to the owner in July and at the time nothing was going on. The buyer I was working with lost his home in a recent disaster so I know it's not him but the owners are open to buyers/lessors and have said (to me at-least) they wanted to keep it a racetrack so we will see. Let me add that there was mention in July of another potential buyer that was considering an offer to keep the track a racing facility; at the time I didn't give it much thought but that was the only mention of other interest in the property I got.

31Racing 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2017 It looks like the property is being used for a staging area, but the work doesn't appear to be related to the track itself. Possibly power lines, or something like that. Don't shoot me if I'm wrong though. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
