Wait Mileys knew the expressway was coming and they put the track initially up for sale. They kept the track for sale at an inflated price, waiting...waiting until the expressway was approved, then sells the track. Isn't this how business works? I am disappointed that the racing community was forgotten when when it came down to it but obviously we didn't have enough money. Or maybe we knew what it would take to get it back to what it was,where the state only sees it as another piece of the puzzle for progress. Either way thanks; Davey Johnson - Steve Baker-Tommy Beck-Alex Ferree-Ed Ferree-Brandon Burgoon-Mike Norris-Darryl Charlier-John Flinner-Lou Bradich and many others who made my Saturdays.

PPMS is not a replacement for heidleburgh .. It is heidleburgh .. picked up and moved to where it is now ..
And no one has signed anything or handed the mileys a big check as of June 4th 2016 ..
No matter what happens .. the Mileys and their Cousins ! ( if you don't know who they are .. just shut up then! ) are people who
work 7 days a week but are at the racetrack every Saturday just as sure as the strip mine mud is gonna be there!
And in their spare time from working 7 days a week and running a racetrack on Saturday .. they build racecars and motors for everybody else!
Even if the keyboard cowboys on here had millions of $$$ they wouldn't have the 24 hours a day racer mentality these people have !

Did anyone else notice the survey stakes placed all over the speedway grounds last night? Looks like it is a done deal.

I happened to talk to Ben Miley last night and he told me they replaced over 50 1500 watt bulbs in the towers going into 3 and down the front straight. I think he said they have another 25 to go, they just ran out of time this week and some of those old sockets are bad. Huge difference.

Aint that the truth. Everyone should be thanking Tony Stewart for the improvements. Wait till you see the place for his race, a red carpet might even be rolled out when he shows up.

Even if the Mileys don't want to sell, if the township wants them gone, in this day and age, they will be presented with a choice of poisons--sell it for less than they want, or let it be condemned and get $1, (literally), for it.
My dad drove late models in the early 70's at North Hills, Butler, Mercer, Blanket Hill, and occasionally Tri City. We won the last late model track championship at Blanket Hill.

does the state of PA. have an eminent domain policy?
#136
Posted 19 July 2016 - 10:17 AM
Of course it does.
#137
Posted 19 July 2016 - 10:37 AM
Yeah, eminent domain, meaning we will get it one way or another at a fair market value. Well to what they consider what a fair price be, much less than the real value. I have had Family members that went through this!

I have to admit I'm getting excited for the All-Stars. While it is disappointing when you realize it took Tony Stewart probably threatening to cancel the race for improvements, updates have been made. I will be there with cash in hand to see and hopefully back again after that to tell the Miley's thank you for making things better for both the drivers and fans.

Of course it does.
Yes, and it basically says, "If we want it we can take it, and you can't do anything about it." By the U.S. constitution any land taken by the government must be for public use, but since the constitution is universally ignored now, the state added a "blight" clause that allows it to take any property and sell it to a developer.

I don't have any insider info but if you don't think the township sees all those tax dollars on say 200 new homes at $250-$350K each versus the amusement tax income the track brings in I'm afraid I've got some bad news....
