A bunch of you guys from Bloomington!? Nice I may be in for this, I'm at ISU right now.

How much is their test and tune rate, never been to US41 before. Also, do they rent helmets?

every year there is a rumor that 41 closed down and every year people laugh at guys who believe it. from my understanding its under new ownership and i heard the name is changing.

I just called the number for a track rental and got Dennys voice mail.QUOTE!!!
(You have reached NO LIMIT RACEWAY,leave a name and number and i will get back to you).NOW i assume Denny purchased it from Grandma,as she wanted nothing to do with it after her husband died.

.

I know a neighbor of mine talked to Mrs. Nevinger after Norm passed away, and made her an excellent offer.
She said no thanks, she wanted to keep it.
If it was sold this winter, I hope she got a good deal, and was not tricked into giving it away cheap.
The place could be an excellent track. I've had a lot of fun there over the years.
I hope someone with a clue can make a top notch facility out of it.
Something that will be around for a long time!!
