Good point Charley...."But"...I just spent 9 hours driving back from SCR9 and went thru miles of nothing! Sure wish the nothings would fill up before the somethings get ripped down....

Steve,

As someone that moved from an area of lots of "somethings"
to an area full of "nothings", I have to say that it makes
a great deal of financial sense to sell properties like this
as the surrounding infrastructure make for better living.

Just my $0.02

I would be surprised if it's really sold. It's not like it's a busy area with lots of businesses nearby. And access to the turnpike isn't that easy either. It's up in the middle of nowhere. I cna't see a good reason a developer would want to pay a premium for that location. I hope it's not true, we keep losing too many racetracks.

That's a new one to me too They have put a ton of money into that facility in that last 5 years, and have really made it into a top-notch place.

E mailed George Case. He says NOT TRUE. Track is not sold or being sold..hhmmm

[Mr BB Chevy]

I emailed him lastnight and sent him a link to this post.

his responce..

We know where the rumor started, but it is untrue. Maple Grove will continue to operate as usual, so whoever said that I said something is lying.

I agree 100%. I have been to this track many times, and it is a great facility. There are not many left that are as nice as Maple Grove. We do have Englishtown, but that is not real close to this track, and not as nice in my opinion. If they keep closing them down at this rate, you will only see more street racing take place.

Hey guys, I speak from first hand experience, I wish that I had a dollar for each phone call I recieved over the years asking me if RP was sold. I have heard from one of the most official sources that this is just a rumor and just that another rumor. With the housing market in a tail spin I would find it very hard to believe that MGP would offer a great local for a housing development. Thanks Andrew

Andrew you are not excused from next years announcing duties at the Reunion...

I'm going to call him.

George was kind and a gentleman when my son was going thru his fight with leukemia (3/98-9/4/00).

We obviously put the SuperComp racing on hold and George was gracious and accomodating when we attended the races to spectate during Michael's fight.

Michael lost his battle on Labor Day, 2000 (at age 20) and George still acknowledges me when I now spectate. Maybe this year,and many years to come, the Keystones National skys with be bright with sunshine with an adjusted altitute of 500'NO STARTING LINE has better hook the Da Grove.

Besides...where you gonna find better funnel cake or rib-eye sandwiches???
