I think the fans can tolerate that, especially since the two P races
aren't really pulling fans from NYC and other desirable target
markets.

About a year ago, the owners of Cayuga Speedway announced that they were going to begin to plow the track under at the conclusion of the labour Day CASCAR race last year. The plan was to replace the 5/8ths mile track, said to have been modeled after North Wilksborough when it was paved in 1968, with a 1 mile oval similar in shape to Rockingham. Unfortunately, The cry of "NIMBY" (Not In MY Back Yard) has greeted their plan and set them back! And the most vocal opponents are the local Aboriginal First Nations! They are claiming that the land belongs to them! Then there's all these phoney environmentalists that have done everything to stop it, and naturally, the Ontario Provincial government is listening to them. After all, this IS an election year here in Ontario. Man when I heard about that plan, I was looking for the line-up for tickets! There is still hope that these guys are going to get the track built. The former CASCAR-now- called-NASCAR Canada race is again on the Labour Day weekend, so I'll find out then where everything stands! So lang as they don't do something really dumb like call it "Toronto International Speedway"! Any thing but "Toronto"! I, like most of Canada, hate that city!

Cup will be going there next, you got to believe. F1 has just as big a crowd. What is sad is the stands in the last American open wheel race there last year. You could see the bare aluminum thanks to Tony George. ;-) I certainly would like to see a Cup race in Canada, but not there! That track is just too tight. If they have to race on a road course in Canada, it should be at Mosport, about 60 miles east of Toronto. That track is a lot like Watkins Glen. Besides, there's lots of NASCAR fans like me who wouldn't set foot in "La Belle Province", but then again, I guess I shouldn't let political differences interfere with my love for NASCAR. As for today's Busch race, there was waaaaayyyy too much emphasis on Quebec's French culture. The race was being run by an American organization for crying out loud!! Other than that, the race was pretty screwed up at the end! I'm very disappointed in Robby Gordon, and because of him, a bonehead won! That was Ambrose's race!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I'm from Hagersville, the last I hear (in late July) was that they still |
goal of Having Cup within 10 years. I know for fact Nascar officials
from NC have visited the track within the last 2-3 months... one can
hope, but I have doubts of ever seeing Cup there, but it's a nice goal
to work towards.
