New racetrack for Kentucky

There is a new racetrack coming to western KY. It is located in Paducah and is about 25 minutes from where we live. It is called Beacon Raceway and is owned by top fuel driver Keith Murt and Dr. Blane Grow. We went to a meeting this afternoon where somewhere around 300 people showed up to get information on the new track. It is on the same site as the old track that was there long ago. ( I know it was there 35 years ago, because while I was still in the hospital after the birth of our son, Chris, Larry ran our VW bus there and won a little money.)

There seems to be lots of interest in the 1/8th mile track. It will start out running Super Pro, Pro, Footbrake and Trophy with other classes added possibly as interest is shone. Right now they are not affiliated with any sanctioning but will be talking with them later.
