But seriously folks, we got this new track that Rusty Wallace is building in Newton, Iowa which is just east of Des Moines a bit. It is scheduled to open in September.  www.iowaspeedway.com

Rusty was on "TrackSide" yesterday... He was talking about the new track,.. and had some pics of it.
Said it was 7/8 mile.  Nice to see NOT just another "cookie cutter" track.  Seems to have all the latest safety innovations, and most modern stuff.  Looks like it would be a GREAT place for a CUP race.

YOu know that is almost the "perfect" size track...  Bg enough for NASCAR events (and IRL, CART stuff),... yet small enough to draw ARCA, Hooters, ASA, USAC, etc and put on a good show.
Could even put on some good touring Late Model shows.  Heck it even has a road course on the infield,.. so it can draw some road course events.
Probably a little big for a 'weekly' show,..... but it should stay busy.

We talked about this before (several times) we finally decided the only way it would  happen  (ALL of us) is if someone hits the lottery. BIG time!
Several people have meet up at races though, I think BBabe holds the record (then again she moves evey other week!!) I have met DaHawk and The Duckster Kiss.  A couple others here I'd love to meet. One in the great white north and one in tornado alley,to mention a few.  Grin

 I'd like to get to Richmond this year. Hey! doesn't SOME ONE live close to there now??

 I'm gonna go get a lottery ticket!
 Wow now there's an idea!  We can all pool our money and someone can buy the ticket, when we hit, it's party time at FS!!!

Well, fire up the ship and come on over to MY end of Virginia, Ros!! I'm firming up plans to go to the fall Richmond race, and I'm only an hour away!! Cheesy

Yes, I've met Ren, Cheryl and Josh, and GG and her hubby, trackslayerfan...and I'll get to meet more!! RG and CG and all y'all out west need to watch out...sometime this winter I'm headed Cali-way!! Cheesy

I just got off the phone with my Big Brother Blu and his wonderful wife Jay..........Thanks buddy ya made my day. I loved talkin with you two and am glad I made the call.

Now I'm more determined than ever for all of us to get together. I wanna meet the people I have come to know and love here and who have been there for me at this most trying time in my life. The memorial service is in two weeks and then the kids start school, and mama is gonna take a much needed long weekend break and head to Southern Cal for a little R & R. I don't know what I'm gonna do while there but I'm sure I'll find soemthing to do....maybe Disneyland, or some bodysurfin of some sort. Then this little project of mine will get it's full attention.
