I may have been living under a rock, but I just heard 75 & 80 in MD is closing again. Does anybody have any info on this as truth or fiction and details?

Rumor going around the track is, Track will close end of year & be sold off to build houses.

I find that difficult to believe (the house building part) There's plenty of land around there.

Why would a developer pay demo costs, when they could buy raw land.

Could be an airstrip community.

Nah, the shut down is up hill big time. Then the return road reminds you of a Billy goat trail.

And the tower is a 2 story shed. lol (but it's a fun track)

Didn't this place just reopen a couple of years ago?

They closed in 2005 or thereabouts and re-opened in 2009.

Too bad somebody with some money wont restore it like Royce Miller did with MIR. MIR used to be run'd down and now its a world class facility with extras

Too bad...ran there once. In the middle of a farm, shut down is fun, so is the return road! Nostalgic feel to it i like old race tracks.

I hear there closing and i hear there not closing. The track should really be a historic landmark and it still brings in the cash so I dont understand why they would want to close. They just need somebody in there that can really run it and really bring the track up to its full potential. I hope they dont close. Urbana is already a dump with all its ugly *** row homes. I think i would cry if I drove by the track and it was a bunch of worthless *** stores.
