And while they’re all giving each other the business, Team Hammer will be sitting in the winner’s circle on that slow ass, clapped out SV.
Sarah Fisher has a go kart track just outside of turn one. It is close to daredevil brewery and other eating and drinking establishments on Main Street in speedway.
My step bro was just at IMS for the BC39 midget race on the new dirt track. The president of IMS said that the turn three dirt track in now permanent.
So the rumor with NJMP... where does that leave people speculating about the track’s future? It needs a repave, the town pushed back and (so far) isn’t going to extend its tax abatement (which they claim they need). Just seems to be the place has been in a bit of a free fall the last few years with changes in management, etc.
How does a town collect taxes from a State owned property? Collecting on the business end of it, I suppose? Seems like entitlement. They'll be entitled to shit if no one wants to go to NJMP any more...not to mention the “disappeared” wealth spread around town by visitors. Millville is, literally, half a shithole. Do they think they'll be happy going back to being a complete shithole? Frickin' double-wide mentality.

The latest is the town is waiting for the track to reschedule the hearing and getting nothing in return. That said, Millville really has no economy to speak of and they would be cutting off their nose to spite their face if they let it slip away.
Town of Millville is a shithole for sure, but what's puzzling is the lack of professional events at NJMP. Other than the track surface the last couple years, the facility is nice and certainly at a level to host an Indy Car, American LeMans or Rolex series roadrace. It also is located relatively close to huge population centers. Now with the apparent loss of Motoamerica, it's basically a trackday site with a couple CCS races a year. If I'm not mistaken, the track threw the trackday orgs out and is running them inhouse these days. Obviously management is suspect at this point.
