I don't know if anyone has seen another developer's plan to build an indoor super speedway in Plainfield, CT with hope of getting a Cup race. Very strange concept that has been struck down once by the town but he has since resubmitted addressing some of their previous concerns. Don't know how that will all work out but it is intriguing.

The only thing coming further north is the weather.

We ran a small asphalt track in northern Maine and if it wasn't windy and cold, it was raining. Can't count on a full season.

CT should be ok though. But the weather is lousy for tracks.

That's the reason for the indoor track. It is a pretty intriguing design though. It's probably ill-advised and probably has a snowball's chance in he!! of 1) getting approved 2) getting built and 3) getting a Cup race.

My 7yo son and I make the rounds to 3 local short tracks during the summer (all within an hour of Hartford, try to make it to one a week). They all stagger their main races on Thurs, Fri and Saturday nights with one offering entry-level races on Wed. Essentially no mods except for a roll-bar and a fuel cell (Heckuva lot of fun for $5.00 Adults Under 12 Free!). Anyway, we probably lose two or three racing weeks a year to the rain here in southern N.E.

I'll see if I can find an article on that indoor track and post it here.
