I think a major part of it is the Fairgrounds opposition to Nashville SC’s stadium. They fought against it every step of the way and are still suing even though it’s already been built. Makes it pretty obvious why Ingram opposes the track expansion

Ya back in the 80s at are local track in Langley BC Canada we raced on Saturday. Nights and one of the stupid complaints was it made some one sheep nervous and another one was there cows couldn’t milk

​@Jason’s AdventuresThis nails it. Instead of working together, Ingram & co. see SMI as a competitor to be eradicated. He so much as said the neighborhood can’t handle two 30K seat venues. A Bristol rep accused him of wanting the Speedway snuffed out, and the way this is going, I believe it. Always gotta follow the money.

problem is the fairgrounds board is appointed, not elected.

Had such a blast with my dad and brother.

@Blaise Michael or local/reg grassroots events too. But to me it was more about the engine noise

Because the V6s aren’t as noisy

I think they should bring it to Nascar. It had fun racing but like you said parking and getting in and out was a nightmare.

On the other hand, I really wanna get the chance to enjoy these people’s displeasure from the Fairgrounds getting re-opened, if for nothing more than me being petty. I hate the stigma certain people will give racing these days, and I wanna see local racing venues continue to grow and prosper more often, and it feels like there’s always some lunatics that decide to cry foul at the idea because “muh peace and quiet”. Let people have fun, dammit. Life’s too short as it is.
