I would love nothing more than to see the plans for the track become a reality, but after reading about what their plans are exactly, I can't help but to be skeptical. I am not bashing the new operators at all, but to announce in January that you intend to completely tear out the existing track, redo the foundation and have new clay in place and to have their first practice on April 23rd, wow. That is a monumental task itself, on top of that there are the restrooms, bleachers, equipment and work on the grounds itself that i'm sure will require a decent amount of attention. Is anyone working there now? I live just down the road from the track and drive by everyday and I don't see any activity going on there. I really hope that they make a fool out of me and are succesful in their endeavor, which I really hope that they are, but it just seems to me to be an awfully large amount of work in a short period of time. And as far as Outlaw guys showing up, unless you are referring to some of what I would call, field fillers, you will not see any of the fulltime Outlaws show up, they cannot run races outside of the Outlaws without being penalized. It has been proven over the years that teams are not going to line the streets and beat a path to race at Tri City, in large part I believe to be because of the size of the track. I know that is the reason it has cost them some cars in the past, some teams either don't have the motor for that size of track or it is just too hard on their motors running there. This probably sounds like a negative post, which is not my intention at all, I am only stating my opinion. I hope to see everyone there in a couple of months!
