I'm hearing rumors that Scott mite have a partner this season and is helping fund the new improvements . He will still be the manager . So I think this is great news for I-57

It's looks to me like they are working on expanding parking where the pond was. They started working on that last year.

I-57 website says; The bad news-- the last pass you made on this track will be the last pass you will ever make on this race track ! The good news -- the last pass you made at I-57 will not be the last the last pass you'll make at I-57 dragstrip |

I drove out to I-57 to see what was up. They were ripping out the old fencing and all the old guard rail . I talked to Scott and the new track will be concrete with concrete walls and depending on the location the new track will have 100 to 300 more feet of shut down. The new set up is also going to have a lot more pit area , sounds like the new set up is going to be top notch .
