Bad news first-I was out at track and yes they are closing down the MX track. Every year rumors jump out that the track is closing, but this decision did not happen until this past weekend. In fact there was a meeting with Victory folks last wed to go over 2014 events and I was told Area Q and ATV Nat'l were a go for 2014, but then Ballance Team and Victory decided to go their separate ways and this past weekend John and Katie decided to move ahead to next business venture for the property. So that's the bad news for the KY MX scene.
The good news is they have been slowly moving toward all music....slowly just sped up to lightspeed. They are gonna build a top notch music facility and turn those hills into two or 3 amphitheatres. The top stage will be an art stage and announcing stage. One massive 5 acre bowl is done with new irrigation, power, new grass etc. Bowl 2 and maybe a 3rd got started Monday. All green camping, lots of very big festivals heading their way in 2014. Looks like they need seating for 20,000. Last piece of puzzle is a 5 lane road into property.
So I was out there yesterday and watched as the fences came down, the jumps were being pushed over and the track was being graded to this new facility.
Bittersweet day for me, but I know this next idea will be big, way bigger with less headaches, and way less liability!!!!
One more good news part, there is a "Race Gates" 40 man starting gate that might be for sale. Top of the line, if you have been to track you know this is the best gate you can buy.
Shoot me an email if you need a contact on gate.
