I sure hope it works out. Seeing that picture of the wall with "winston cup" on it sure recalls happier times.

Since I live a half hour from the track, I pass it every once in a while and it's still a sight to behold after all these years. It'd be great if they could bring back the track, but honestly, it's in one hellhole of a town that doesn't really deserve it.

Yeah, Moody was saying last week that it would take a HUGE effort to get the infrastructure ready for any kind of occupancy. Would be nice though.

Wilkesboro neither has the infranstruture, or the desire to support it.
