Comment on All Division Drivers – What Year? by Donnie Redd

Based on some of the drivers in the photo and the sponsorships related to those drivers I would say 1987. This most likely is the picture that Baker had them take as being the last year he was the promoter of the track. Boyd Adams and Jimmy Allen took over in 1988.

Comment on Denson Gets 2009 Speedway Lease by Rob

I’m optimistic that Denson will do a good job with the Speedway. If nothing else, he should understand the racers and be able to make a better connection with them. The problem is still attendance, and if the Fair Board expects to see 1997ish revenues, the it still could mean bad news. I guess the best way to look at the whole situation is that the track was supposed to be gone after the 2000 season, so if nothing else, we got another 8 years. I hope that’s not the way it goes down, and I salute Glen and Donnie for being the leaders in fighting this hard battle. There’s still a chance that it will all work out for the best.

Comment on Typical Attitude or Abberation? by Interested Parties : Post Politics: Political News and Views in Tennessee

Interested Parties : Post Politics: Political News and Views in Tennessee — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:33:21 +0000

[...] Glen Harness notes the presence of outside agitators in the debate over the future of Nashville’s fairgrounds: If we don’t do something soon, racing in Nashville will be a thing of the past. If you’re a race fan, take off the morning of the first Tuesday of the month and go sit in on the Fair Board meeting. The “neighbors” (I put that in quotes because from what I can tell, they’ve brought in outside “neighborhood activists” to attend the Fair Board meetings) are certainly there at every meeting. [...]

Comment on Tennessean Story on Consultant Report by Rob S

I was at the meeting,and it appeared that there were about as many people there as there were at the public meetings in January. The meeting was only for Markin Consulting to explain where they are in their study. There were no oral comments taken, though there were sheets of paper where comments could be written. The Powerpoint slides will be put on Markin’s website. The future of the track does not appear to be as ominous as The Tennessean made it sound in today’s paper. They basically said that if racing was going to continue at the track, some sanctioning body changes should be made, or the fair should take over operation of the track itself. They did not recommend tearing the track down, though they did not support it either.
