For those following the development of the new track in Palmer, the Springfield Republican reports (http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/05/economy_slowing_plans_for_amat.html?category=Busin ess&category=Hampden&category=Palmer&category=Sports) that the slowing economy had slowed but not killed the track. Now the target date is 2011, pushed out from 2010 IIRC.

When I saw the article in the paper I hesitated to read it as I thought for sure it was going to be about the track being cancelled - - I consider one extra year to be very good news. Has anyone heard anything else on the track?

All I can say is..sickkkkkkkkkkkkk.

Where?

Palmer MA

Not to joe shit off the street, but im sure to clubs like the cca, com, scca, nasa.....ect...otherwise they would never make money...

just did a little reading up on it...its supposed to be a 2.14 mile track with its focus on club racing, no professional racing for the time being, and will be operated by the SCCA

heres the preliminary track design:

I'll ride on the back of your Bobcat, wielding my shovel like a swore of yore. The ground will never know what hit it.
