just seen some pics on limalands website of the track. but is it me or does it look less banked? i know they added dirt but to me it just looks like theres less banking now...

[gibbs gang]

there has been less banking,every since earl baltes sold it. wonder why everyone screws up the tracks after earl lets go of them.

[dirk diggler]

What year did they re-do everything? I'm thinking 1992ish? Whatever the year was is when they officially wrecked it! The old Limaland was a fantastic race track, now it's a great facility with a dirt oval in the center. But hey, the Vip suites and the new sign out front look good!

Yes can't agree more nice sign out front there , well we now the lack of banking isn't caused by to much racing , so skip wat do you think caused this since you are the official excuse maker for Limaland .

[ExcusesRgetingOLD]

Well maybe frickie took over the track prep this year and that's why we can't get a race in. Just don't know any input there skippy Or I mean excuses.

Skip not skippy, has only posted that several times Langhaus brought the infield up 3 ft, they even showed it in the Lima news paper when he took it over and did it.

By the way the im not on the payroll at lima and i wasnt on the payroll when i worked at WRP for 4 yrs, and thinking about doing it again this yr.

...lets be honest, if Ken Langhals hadn't of done his improvements, it probably would have fallen into the decade or two of inactivity like Millstream did. While I've never turned a lap at Limaland in my life. I remember the early 90's very well and that place was a total hole. Even if the track was the best racing surface in the country...the facilities were awful and eventually no fans would have lead to no races.

[dirk diggler]

So does anyone know between what years they actually did re-do it? The only way I could figure it out for sure is going and looking thru my Dad's old pics but that's too far just to figure that out

Thank you for your honest opinion.

I cant remember what yr Langhals did it. i was going out there about every week looking at the improvements. The ones to ask if i see them this weekend would be Rollie rinaldi and Skinny Kenny and his dad Ed, they were helping kenny redo the place. Rollie proably even did some of the electrical work. If you know either one of them and see them ask them kenny might know.

[skinnykenny]

I'm sure my dad knows. He built some of those grandstands for Langhals when Kenny was fixing up the place. I will find out.

[SchraderFan36]

According to the Allen County Auditor's website, the property was purchased by "BOA PERFORMANCE INC" on Dec. 28, 1992. I am assuming that's when Mr. Langhals purchased it?

[skinnykenny]

Yep....it was 1993 when my dad was working there for Langhals.

[gibbs gang]

they ran one race in 1993,and randy herron won the stockcar race.

so heres the latest rumor if lima doesnt get the next 3 shows in there done for the year cause there not going to have the money for the points fund and nascar is going to pull out just a rumor

I have heard the same rumor, but it is a RUMOR. I would hope not, making all the race teams put an 100 stickers on there cars is just ridiculous. Those teams pay to have nice looking race cars for the fans and their sponsors and Limaland says you MUST have these stickers on both sides of your car. While the only way you benefit from these stickers is if you win a race or the points championship. Wow there is ALOT of FREE advertising out there for companies. What does the cars get that constitanly run in the top 5 or 10? If for some weird reason that rumor would come true, I do beleive Lima would have alot of race teams on there front door asking about all the darn stickers that Lima said you must have on your car. Come on Lima sponsors are hard enough to find as it is. With all the stickers you say these teams must place on there car it hides the sponsors name they have on there car now. Just because your a nascar track doesnt mean this is nascar. Just my opinion. Have a great day.

If this happens and NASCAR pulls out they should take the people that run the track with them.
