How about they run the roval course at ACS as the last race? The 2 mile oval is so damned boring. If it wasn't then they wouldnt be making the changes. So I say try the roval just for the hell of it before it winds up like richmond or bristol.

I've been going to that track for years for NASCAR (and Indy), even back when the NASCAR race was a 500 in the middle of August. Never my favorite place.


They would have to re design the infield track to acomidate those cars. This is what they should do anyway and leave it as is. Napcrap is committing suicide.

Yes, if they did that then any other series could use the roval as they likely aren't the heavy pigs that Nascar is. What would need to be done? Add K-Rails? The Charlotte Roval and Daytona seem to be fairly open areas except for the turns.

Seems like the perfect backdrop for a Daytona for the west. Think of all the series that would run the piss out of it...

The land is worth too much... This was an easy business decision for them.

just like shakin the lake
Seriously Steven why are you ALWAYS so cynical/negative about ANYTHING/EVERYTHING, I guess JB is right you really are a homo..LOL, so to answer your JAB
nope not even close, professionals this time ;) that know how to and already have cut though the red tape. This is actually how, where and the direction it all started to begin with till others in town that had no clue (other than $ & EGO) as to what they were doing took over and forced the driving force of out and just made a laughing stock failure out of it. Now we have the Land and the zoning already in place and the actual design work (not just renderings) in process. It's the original driving force behind it and I am more than a 100% confident in His/our success. it's a positive thing Steven you know like my beer is still half full:cool:

The area smells like the OC dump sorting station off of blue gum in Anaheim. 91/57 N interchange. Gross!! When I was there last month there was some kind of strange concert going on with loud music in filipino or Middle Eastern something rather. You could hear it at 11 o’clock at night.

everything around you is industrial.

an old friends grandfather was the owner of Fontana steel and sold off some of that land for the raceway

They are going to sell the land as industrial space is what I heard, not residential.

its havasu and in the middle of the desert. I hope it gets built really. I just mapped it to see how close it was to a certain property I looked at there. Im a fan of the idea. Not a homo, not negative at all. Just a very tough business venture for that area, but these types of places seem to exist. Chuckawalla is really a odd location.

Chuckawalla is not that odd if you talk to the owner. it is 3 hours from las vegas/phoenix/la right about in the middle of all those areas. You can't build a noisy track near any people anymore since somebody will always complain. Nice open area out there not far from havasu or Vegas.
