Thats what I heard also but don't know if under new management. I think I read that IHRA was thinking of buying.

What have you heard?

I heard that IHRA has already purchased and they were looking at a 6-8 week period before re-opening. On the yellow bullet forum a local guy has seen a lot of activity at the track, so i guess it's just the waiting game till they make a official announcement...

I hope so. I bought a Procharged auto coupe for track fun before I left Indiana only to get down here and find out SAR was closed down. I was floored. SA is WAY too big of a city not to have a track.
