Paul2280 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 awesome......Columbus Motor Speedway is looking kinda old now a days.....will be nice to have a new speedway around town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 CMS is too small for full size cars anyways. I'm sure they still have a future as a midget and Kart track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2280 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 true but its fun to watch the big cars on the small track...lots of action!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Sucks. The Coop was supposed to become a motorcycle park. Apparently the city didn't like that idea.... fuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats up with that? That would be cool, but there are probably more NAPCAR fans in C-bus than M/C racers. Was it supposed to be a road course or MX?

Was it supposed to be a road course or MX?No, it was supposed to be like a giant MSF course sponsored by HD. You would've been able to take all kinds of different MC classes there, not just the basic or advanced, and it was all through the Ohio BMV.Read something about it last year. It was going to be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 The area around the Coop used to be one of the roughest area around, that is untill they tore down the gubment housing on Harmon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Bruce Warner, who has lived in the neighborhood since the 1950s, is worried about noise."I hate to see the noise. There's going to be noise," Warner said.someone should tell him that you hear noise, not see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 i think its a cool idea..they already do autox stuff in the parking lot right?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v65rider Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Couldn't they still put somthing in the infield of the dirt track?There is still a chance they could make it into something that everyone can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to be awesome.That would have been pretty cool. I used to ride with some guys who stunted in their big ass parking lot. It makes a decent drag strip, too..This would be good if they make it into a racetrack and could bring in a lot of cash for Columbus if they can get NASCAR.

R1Limited Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 1/2 mile oval seems too small to have anything big there... if they spend all that money they might as well make it worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 yeah but i dont see this place being that big. maybe we can get a busch race or something lol. still, bristol holds 170,000 people or so, plus has a shitload of room around it for RVs, parking, camping etc etc etc...also, when they showed this on the news the other night, they showed some drawings, and it looked like it had a road course too. they called it a "motorsports complex", so cross your fingers motorcyclists. maybe we will have our day in the sun there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 also, that 10tv article makes it sound like residends are dead set against it, but on the news (4 iirc) they talked to like 5 people who all said they thought it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
