"Alright, I couldn't take all the rumors and high hopes without facts so I stopped by the track today while they were working to ask ?'s. Here's what I was told, first hand, no hand-me-down stuff: the guy said they were getting rid of the dirt that was previously piled up and filling a hole on the adjacent farm. Then he said they were going to clean up the parking area by mowing the weeds down with the brush hog (pointing to said brush hog). I said "For what?" He said "They are gonna re-open the race track". Exact words! I asked him if they were going to pave the parking area, he said he didn't think so but that they were replacing the bleachers. I'm adding nothing of my own, that's everything he told me and nothing more. It sounds promising but I'm still not getting my hopes too high. "

My source was Bill Wilcom at a Christmas party in December. Anything is possible. I'm not saying it can't happen, It's just not likely. Considering a new owner will have to jump through all of Frederick counties permitting processes. They won't just be able to open the track back up. The track had been grandfathered in to the county becuase it was there before all the houses. But everything would have to be brought up to current code which will cost $$$$.

I did some checking today while at work. The track is still listed in the tax and property records as being owned by 75-80 Dragway Inc. and still has Bills address listed. These records are updated 3 times a week. So if the property has changed ownership it would reflect it there. This is no big secret to find this info out. It is all public record. You just have to know where to look.

Yeh I guess. I hope whoever owns this place has some sense in there brain and opens it up cause it will bring in the bucks. I know they would get my money every friday. Im ready. OPS Saddle Up
you know there is a easy way to do this right? someone who lives close go to that towns town hall and pull up the *PUBLIC* land records on the property, it will tell you when it was sold, to who, and what the purpose of the land was as you need to keep this up to date every year for taxes
