gateway rumors

[crossbonesdennis]

Dover is not associated with the drag stip in Nashville. I think that one is run or owned by a relative of Dallas Jones at Beech Bend.

according to the race track directory it is all on the same grounds and falls under the same crap as what happened to gateway

The dragstrip at Nashville isn't part of the speedway property. It is owned by a relative of Dallas Jones, and they are trying to build up car counts and spectators there.

The drag strip was never finished on the dover owned grounds.
You can see it on google maps.

Would you not like to be the excavation co. who got to move all that dirt.(if he got paid) If he's lucky maybe he'll get to put all those unfinished projects back the way they were.If Dover started that project and had that much crap going on all at once they deserve their place in infamy.I counted at least three unfinished large to midsize projects on that chunk of ground.

that spot of land on the right of that pic looks like a drag strip

They way I understand it, the father of Dover Entertainment was into racing. He built The Monster Mile, bought Memphis, Gateway and built Nashville. He passed away. The "kids" inherited the business and couldn't care less about racing.
Can't really blame them. The casino probably makes more in a few weeks than a race track makes in a year.

It's dirt or rock that was going to be a dragstip. It was never finshed.

LOL, yeah right!

I was by GIR over the weekend it looks abandon and pitiful to me.If the "New Guy" could have that mess open by Labor Day an Anal Dwelling Primate will have climbed out of his home.

[dennismopar73]

yeah nothin this year,

Best shot is for next year. You will not hear anything until it is a done deal. It is being kept under very low profile. Suppose to be on NHRA 2012 schedule for a race in October (next year).
