Action Track promoter announcement today

[rex]

The new promoters of Terre Haute Action Track are having a news conference at 4PM today at Clabber Girl. The local CBS affiliate had one of the promoters (Mike King, on the phone from Homested) on the air. He confirmed that we will see the traditional events come back (Sumar, Tony Hulman Classic, Hut 100) as well as some winged and non-winged sprint events. There was more, but I can't recall the whole segment.

I saw that too & Rex, you got the highlights! How great to see a promotional group involved that has a real passion for racing! Hopefully 2008 begins the road back for the Action Track...

They are bringing back the $25 family infield pass good for 2 adults and up to 4 children. Reserved Season Tickets will be available for $125 each which is good for all 8 events.

Thought you knew that, Tim.

Only 1 Saturday date and I'm guessing that's due to most all the Saturdays are already booked for the year. But....it's great that there is a schedule for 2008.

I knew that Terre Haute was running this year, but I didn't know Bubby was doing track prep. He's gonna be awfully busy between doing the track prep at THAT and taking care of the Pace Bros. 44 cars.

Sounds like good news to me.

Yea! That's awesome, because I can make that race, and head over to Indy for Carb Day the next day.

Anyone have a recommendation for a place to stay in Terre Haute for that night?

[Liz]

There's a new Hilton Garden in downtown TH, or if you want to be closer to the Action Track, try the Drewry Inn just off I-70.

[Max Revs]

Close to the track sounds good to me.


Thanks .
