This sounds very cool !!

How about a general area... LOL Are you talking about the gap area? You don't list your location. In short...will it be a real track worthy of hosting a weekend of real racing...or just something that's being built for the fun of friends and family? SEMRA is always looking out for new tracks!

Real racing, it will be a quality facilty and the guy wants to expand once he gets the first course going. It will be between Chattanooga and Knoxville.

Ahh man, now you've gone and got my hopes up. I'm a knoxville native...bro still lives there. Having a venue there would be unreal. With all the "hopes" we've been thru in "big bike" racing and tracks that were a sure thing that never happened... well, here's to hoping.

Don't spread this around, the guy is keeping it hush hush. He doesn't want to chance neighbor resistance til he has reached a certain deadline that will make it harder for anyone to try to push him out. He's got a great plan and we should see some good asphalt kart/mini motard racing in this area.

I won't be saying anything to anyone. If it does really happen and he wants some real races held there, let me know and we'll no doubt make it happen.

I am going to go down there soon and checkout progress. He was thinking about opening it up for faster karts, I am going to try and talk him back down to fiddies. LOL

I'm thinkin' about mini road racing. Take a look at the thread I'm posting up here in a few mins of the SEMRA race this past weekend @ CMP. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
