Maple Grove Sold? You heard it from me!

That's right.

A VERY reliable source has told me that George Case and the gang will end the fall classic at "Da Grove" next year. I know it as the Keystones and always will! Hell...no sponsor has had a better name then The Keystones, xxxcept for maybe the SummerNationals.....yea, that's right, the only SummerNationals ever....at Englishtown!

Have raced there for years and hate to see the track go, but........it's be sold to developers for what else?......

houses.

So......if I'm wrong, I'll take the blame.....if I'm right, well......you can say "I heard it from Jeff"

Here's a good pic at the one of the best tracks around!

"........it's be sold to developers for what else?...... houses"

Contrary to popular belief, we need someone to build houses somewhere. I'm guessing most of us live in a house that was built by someone. I'm sorry the racetrack will be gone but congrats to the seller for probably finally making his investment in the land pay off.

Good point Charley...."But"...I just spent 9 hours driving back from SCR9 and went thru miles of nothing! Sure wish the nothings would fill up before the somethings get ripped down....

you sure? i cant see why they would sell out,tons of land around track that would/should sell first, unless they sold cheap, or were offered.. billions to sell

there is 2 super stock events, the nationals, super chevy, ford nationals, mopar race, hotrod muscle car race, harley event, vw jam thingie, flea markets, etc etc and the race series.

also..as far as i know.. the land next to pit(left side going down track) isnt track owned.

This is a NEW one on me! Can't hardly believe it though. NEVER heard anything about the Grove. A bunch of stuff about Englishtown but never about the Grove. No need to do away with the track for houses because there is miles of open land before and after the race track.

guys the other land might not be for sale...I am with Charley, anyone could have bought it if it was/is for sale/sold.

bottom line the cat paying the taxes on the land calls the shots with the countys blessing, not the neighbor complaining.

Steve,

As someone that moved from an area of lots of "somethings"
to an area full of "nothings", I have to say that it makes
a great deal of financial sense to sell properties like this
as the surrounding infrastructure make for better living.

Just my $0.02

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.
