IslandS62 10-12-2005, 12:58 AM nothing certain, but the guardrail fronting the off-camber was recently re-designed. :( The Beastmaster 10-12-2005, 01:18 AM No official word, yet. Scuttlebutt is that politicians aren't happy with the track operator. Despite that, they are still trying to get the lease extended. CobaltFire 10-12-2005, 01:55 AM Wonder how happy they will be when the Friday night drags take to the streets... radarjeremy 10-17-2005, 04:25 PM so this is the only legal outlet for racing on oahu? Why would they close it.. It will just open up the door for streetracing on H1 for those people without any self control. IslandS62 10-17-2005, 04:57 PM Its not a state or city run facility, so whether it stays open or not is not up to us, but the owner and the market. I am surprised its been there for as long as it has frankly.

IslandS62 10-17-2005, 06:06 PM you talking to me or the previous poster? I think my post says quite clearly its a privately owned facility. I also understand that the owners don't seem to me to be very business minded, which is why I said I am surprised it lasted so long IMO. radarjeremy 10-17-2005, 06:50 PM So what is going on behind the scenes here? K Funk 10-17-2005, 08:21 PM Is anyone with the SCCA trying to secure a lot for further competition? Autocross doesn't need a road course at all, as most regions just use parking lots. It's tough finding a big enough lot that will allow it, but there's plenty out there. We just need a big factory or something with a large parking lot, but isn't open on the weekends. Gene V 10-17-2005, 09:01 PM I think Curtis Lee is trying to get back to the stadium...he's a long time hardcore autoxxer and will pull out all the stops in finding an alternate place to race... K Funk 10-17-2005, 09:19 PM I think Curtis Lee is trying to get back to the stadium...he's a long time hardcore autoxxer and will pull out all the stops in finding an alternate place to race... aloha stadium? I'd think the swap meet and football games would be tough competition. :shifty But good to know somebody like him is trying... I gotta decide whether I might wanna stay here another year or not. |
