The bleacher company has delayed delivery of the new structure twice with the latest notice of further delay coming earlier this week. It will be well into April before the new structure arrives and is assembled. In the mean time, officials are trying to start the season with temporary bleachers which will be set up between the current turn 4 bleachers and the new grandstand. Much work remains with re-installation of PA and light systems, water and sewer line, plus concession stands. Crews are working hard to get the facility as race ready as possible under tough conditions.
Next week is a possibility if all goes well.
Temporary seating could arrive by Wednesday and if assembled in time, racing could start next Saturday afternoon. Sprint Cars and late models are scheduled. Credit is due to all involved in trying to solve these problems and complete the work. Track workers, Mark Book and Gronninger Construction crews and the entire Fair Board, led by President Buzz Hower, deserves a word of encouragement and praise for their work. Hang in there fans because we're gonna be racing shortly.
