rebelracewriter Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Across the parking lot from the dirt track in Midland-Odessa was a water/amusement park......at least there was the last time I was there numerous years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
see86go Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Please look at the date on the article... June 11, 2004. You will be glad it didn't happen in Texas. Everyone here in NE Ohio was very excited when Racetown purchased Lorain County Speedway. From a creature-comfort standpoint, they made many improvements to an already great facility, but they had issues operationally almost from the start. Not to get into any of the issues here, but with all the racing choices we have here in NE Ohio on Saturday nights, drivers and fans left for other tracks. Racetown dropped the Super Late Models at the beginning of the 2006 season, and closed mid way through the season, with Racetown filing bankruptcy. The former owners (prior to Racetown) purchased the track and reopened it for a season-ending big race in October and had a record turnout of cars and fans. To my knowledge, this is the only speedway in the US that closed last season, that has reopened. So, while they were developers, Racetown didn't have experience in operating a track, which caught up with them in the end when the cash ran out.
