Default Bluegrass Motorsports Park

Any updates?

I've emailed & sent messages on facebook to
Brad, but of course - no replies.

Was really looking forward to having a great track nearby.

My understanding is that since they did not finish the project with adequate drainage and water runoff flow, there are pavement washouts in some areas. It is now deteriorating is the rumor. Too bad, I was looking forward to it also. Of course, the corvette museum track is gonna be the best one local to me.

Nothing happening down there. Stop by once in a while on my travels. Weeds are growing and our spring summer gulley washers are taking their toll.

Hopefully someone will buy it and finish it....maybe Burton Smith needs a place to compliment the KY Speedway...now that he has a NASCAR RACE there....

I sure hope someone steps up to the plate and finishes this place. Here is a video of me on this course.

This is not good news. Now I am hearing that Gateway in St. Louis may be closing too! My geographical location is already bad for road courses, we lost Memphis last year The last I heard the Bluegrass was a go but that was a few months ago.
Hopefully the track across from the Corvette Museum will become a reality. Its just three hours from me

Gateway is up for sale, I believe. But all events scheduled for this year are still happening.

Hi Rich. Have not seen you much this year. You gonna make UPS?

To answer your question-not even close. I'm pretty much on three and facebook. Not very reg on any currently.

Did you see where that video was placed on a BUNCH of web sites? - I had nothing to do with that. Most of it branched out from here.

it was only half built.. was a big mistake with the design and engineeering issues.

I doub't that it will ever come out to anything and I will never see the membership money again.

Such a shame, doesn't sound promising...
