That's a new one to me too https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif They have put a ton of money into that facility in that last 5 years, and have really made it into a top-notch place.

E mailed George Case. He says NOT TRUE. Track is not sold or being sold..hhmmm

Re: Maple Grove Sold? You heard it from me!
 

I emailed him lastnight and sent him a link to this post. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

his responce..

We know where the rumor started, but it is untrue. Maple Grove will continue to operate as usual, so whoever said that I said something is lying.

I would be surprised if it's really sold. It's not like it's a busy area with lots of businesses nearby. And access to the turnpike isn't that easy either. It's up in the middle of nowhere. I cna't see a good reason a developer would want to pay a premium for that location. I hope it's not true, we keep losing too many racetracks.

I agree 100%. I have been to this track many times, and it is a great facility. There are not many left that are as nice as Maple Grove. We do have Englishtown, but that is not real close to this track, and not as nice in my opinion. If they keep closing them down at this rate, you will only see more street racing take place.

Hey guys, I speak from first hand experience, I wish that I had a dollar for each phone call I recieved over the years asking me if RP was sold. I have heard from one of the most official sources that this is just a rumor and just that another rumor. With the housing market in a tail spin I would find it very hard to believe that MGP would offer a great local for a housing development.

Andrew you are not excused from next years announcing duties at the Reunion...

Re: Maple Grove Sold? You heard it from me!
 

I'm going to call him.

George was kind and a gentleman when my son was going thru his fight with leukemia (3/98-9/4/00).

We obviously put the SuperComp racing on hold and George was gracious and accomodating when we attended the races to spectate during Michael's fight.

Michael lost his battle on Labor Day, 2000 (at age 20) and George still acknowledges me when I now spectate. Maybe this year,and many years to come, the Keystones National skys with be bright with sunshine with an adjusted altitute of 500'NO STARTING LINE has better hook the Da Grove. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Why couldn't they build a subdivision with the track in the middle. A retirement community for us old car nuts to retire in. Open the kitchen window and let the tire smoke waft in. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

They did that very thing in Savannah GA, it is a road course called "Roebling Road" unfortunately because it is in a subdivision there are no spectators allowed.
