Rammed through with no chance for the racer.

I understand that the owners can do what they want, but when the city is against you, its an uphill battle. Upset does not begin to describe the feelings I have currently. Looks like I will be pulling my money from Commerce Bank!!!! Thank you to the Kempers and Claire McKaskil.....

WOW, what a shame. NO reason for it. We hear bits and pieces but not lately about Maple Grove Raceway also. There are plenty of room for parks and recreation. Why does it have to be there? Doesn't that strip have alot of history with the Gibb/Harrell gang? How far was that from Dick's Shop?

[SmallHurst]

The track has been in that location for 44 years. When it was built, it was far enough away from everyone that it was not a problem. It was built in a flood plane and not going to hurt anyone. In 44 years, the city grew up around the track. Old school track that had seen the big names come and visit.

As for the proximity to Harrell's shop, roughly 8 miles away!!!

It appears the track is not dead yet......

I need to find the link for the petition for everyone here, but over 5000 signatures have been placed on this. A great deal has been uncovered about the with holding of information to the city council.

I have just shared a link on FB for save KCIR. Google KCIR and lend a hand.... We do not need this track to soft into that goodnight!
