For the sake of staying positive, They can now put them up at the entrance of the track, and make it a count down clock!

42 days until opening day....drivers start your motors REALLY? It will take a miracle for it to happen in 42 days. Matter of fact it will take a miracle for them to open this year!!!! Not trying to be negative, just being a realist

Re: Construction progress « Reply #90 Today at 8:49pm » Can someone explain step by step how to post a picture please? I spent a few hours up at the property today. I am in the process of putting together a short video. Ronnie and some others have been up there previously brush hogging and doing other things. Today Ronnie was operating a mini excavator or what he called a “track hoe.” Kevin Meine was operating a skid loader. Jim (didn’t catch his last name, sorry!) was doing a bunch of different things to help out. Dennis McBride brought out a pump and set it up. Ronnie told me today, “We got started about 8 am. We are getting stuff prepped, stuff that we can get cleaned up before the excavators get here, but I want to leave some of these shade trees down here. We’re going to get all of that cleaned up and we had to drain the little pond there that sort of looks like a moat, in front of the Mid America Raceway Park Blvd. sign by the service road. Then we’re going to clear the tree lines out." The equipment today was supplied by Dyer Rental in Wright City, MO.” [Their website is www.dyerrentalandequipment.com/ . Their Facebook is www.facebook.com/pages/Dyer-Rental-Equipment-Company/127253793972611 – “like” them if you’re on Facebook!!]. The pump to pump out the pond was supplied by Danny Holder of Holder Plumbing in O’Fallon. Ronnie told me he is the former owner of another business but I didn’t catch it – if anyone knows if he’s got a website or Facebook, or the name of his old business, please let me know so I can update this. Dennis, who worked at the old M.A.R. as a tech inspector, and who will be working at Mid America Raceway Park as a tech inspector and also doing any other duty needed, went to Dan’s and got the pump and brought it out. Ronnie told me, “The surveyors finished on Wednesday, April 25. We have to meet with Cochran Surveyors in Wentzville next, but that has not been scheduled yet. I expect a call from them any day. Then we have to meet with Brian Howell of Howell Excavating who is doing the drag strip.” I’ll keep updating as I can and as other things are going on.

Those poor trees how could they do that. Kidding. But what does that prove? If they were serious about getting something done why not use a highlift instead of screwing around with those toys

I agree, I just posted to show that they where at least doing something Ha Ha, also if you notice, they are working in an area that has no effect of the track? They have other battles to win before you see a 'big goings on'! Also in the back ground you see a tractor that getting field ready for planting??

Aw, what a cute little excavator. lol
Nice to see something going on. Still interested to see how the dirt moving goes. From what I remember, they've got a lot of work ahead of them to turn it into a level area.
