Do you think this could eventually take the national away from Unadilla? Its hard for me to believe that a Nascar track would build a motocross track without at least trying to get a national or a gp.

This track has been there for a few years. It is on a property that touches that of the speedway. I raced there a few years ago. It seemed that the owner was always surrounded by problems, so they closed. Now they are back (same owner) and giving it another try. The original track was far from a national track. That being said, I wish them luck.

From the looks of the site, it's not affiliated with the auto racing facility and looks like a decent local set up.

It does have Glen & motocross in there, let's give it a shot.

They've had F-1 and NASCAR there, so yeah, I'm in.

Buy me a ticket for the aeroplane.

there is no chance it will. I guarantee it. however, it is great that we have an additional new track popping up, but it doesnt have near the build it will take too make it national caliber.

anyone checked out area 51 or palmyra mx in NY? those tracks are national worthy.

I look for 3 new tracks next year and going for the Parking Lot Nationals looks to be the trend.

F1 hasnt been there since the 60's, but still, good stuff.

I really wish we could get another USGP. But Ole Bernie won't "fit us in"

The last F1 race at the Glen was in 1980.

Your wish may come true for the USGP as there was an announcement yesterday that a new track is being built in Austin, TX and a contract signed for 2012-2021.
