A New Track

[DJalltheway]

The reason I bring this up is, here in MN, they want to put in a new Stadium for the Twins.
I Love baseball and my favorite team is the Twins, But we already have a VERY nice stadium, called the Metro-Dome.
The State is already in the RED so y would they build this?
I think that if they were to build something that size it better be a Track, cause we need one here.

Don't care [/u]where[u] it is but how exciting it is.

I remember not too long ago a group was planning a half mile paved track up here, but the environmental groups shot them down really fast.  Have heard nothing since.  I doubt Nascar would put a track up here in northern Minnesota since I'm sure they could find somewhere else with less hurdles to jump through that would help spread tracks around the country.  However much I would like one in Minnesota. . . .

I voted for Washington, seems like an area where you might find a unique track waiting to be built.  I don't really have a particular reason for thinking that way, just logic in my own head

There should be a NASCAR race in the Northwestern/Northcentral part of the United States. That's where there's a lack of races.

There's no option for the UK.

Also about that Tree Huggin group.....

My English Teacher is in the Peace Core and is also an envirMENTAList. and one of our assinments were to write a 5-paragraph paper on your favorite famous person. of course I did Dale Jarrett. She told me how Nascar is a Racist, sexist sport, and that it is bad ffor the envirment.

and over the winter I hit the side of a Tree with my Snowmobile and hurt my ankle.

so in summery, I hate Tree Huggers a little.

New York City area would be the best.  There is talk of building a track in Staten Island, but would that be for nextel or busch (like the mexico track)?

Heheh, I get to put in a protest vote - thanks DJ.   There is already a custom built oval in the UK actually - Rockingham Motor Speedway (original name...) near Corby in England. It's a short track and it runs a NASCAR-esque series which was once called ASCAR but seems to change it's name every year. I think they use old Busch cars which were shipped over. CART ran there a few years ago before they switched to Brands Hatch.

Don't launch into me too much about this, btw - I know NASCAR has to service it's home market first and foremost but in 10 years or so I'd like to see even a demonstration run of some proper stock cars over here - or even a race, it would sell out for sure.

I think they should put a track in new york because New York needs a Non road coure race here I hate going to the road course and I only get to see the cars in olny a little bit I would like to see the whole race not part of it.

For God's sake, I don't care if they built the damned thing in the middle of the ocean, WE NEED MORE SHORT TRACKS ON THE SCHEDULE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[H_Widelitz]

Damn right Matt.

The Staten Island track is supposedly a 3/4 mile short track and the first divisions to race there will most likely be in the ARCA/Busch direction. That's how all tracks are, really. Nextel Cup didn't go to Vegas until after a few years of Busch racing, and Cup might be planning on a road course race at Mexico as well.

Amen Brother Amen
