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.

Ok, great!

I know the Monster Truck Shows preform in doors, but with NASCAR, I wonder what kind of an exhaust system they would have. Think about it. The fumes and the fires they sometimes have. I'm not sure about having NASCAR in doors. It would have to be a HUGE place.

I take my 4 daughters to Waterford on Wednesdays. $5 aint bad!

I grew up 20 minutes from Stafford, and 30 mins from Riverside (now closed). We used to hit Westboro in MA (now closed), and sometimes Danbury (now closed). Sundays at thompson wasn't as good, but still a modified race.

My absolute favorite track is and always has been Lebanon Valley, but it's almost a 3 hour ride for me, so we don't make it too often.

I think I would rather drive to New Hampshire spedway, Dover, Pocono or Martinsville than see a NASCAR race in the armpit of the universe, NYC.
