That looks scary! Imagine how loud it will be.

That way Mark can take us all out in one big crash!
Great track...but do you realize IF they have T&T events there how much entry will be. You don't build a track like that and not make some money. Joliet has just as much seating. I seriously doubt they will be racing 4 wide because no one would insure them. I can't wait to see the track, but they better make sure to make the local T&T feel somewhat welcome, or they will be ass out.

if the do the four lane thing it would be for oil downs when one lane shut down u can run on Another to keep racing going and spectators in the seats
I posted this in Chad's track questions thread but figured it could use an update here too
The track is complete and just cut the ribbon. This Saturday is the Open House.

are you kidding me i would be there every weekend..
Now that is something I would take a trip to go see, just awesome...!!!
In the one picture you can see how close the subdivision is to the track and I can see where the residents were coming from when they protested it. HOWEVER, if I lived there and heard 12,000+HP ripping down the track in the distance I would be grinning from ear to ear . Honestly, I would have a party the weekend of the big race just to piss off the neighbors even more.....
People need better sh!t to do with their lives than watch grass grow.....

This is at the Lowe's Motor Speedway complex where NASCAR is held with 180,000 attendance, and there is also a dirt track, so I doubt engine noise will be anything new to the neighbors..
