Heartland Park Topeka---latest?!?
What is the latest on HPT? With the Kansas Nationals scheduled in late May and not 1, but 2 LODRS Events to be held their in August...plus the D5 ET Finals in September, nothing seems to be communicated to clearly on it's pending closing.
Anyone have any first hand knowledge of the situation of HPT?

Re: Heartland Park Topeka---latest?!?
Here is the latest good news press release from the city of Topeka on Heartland Park.
Now it looks like they have to find someone to buy and then agree to invest another $5+ M for improvements over the next few years to satisfy the state's Star Bond requirements. http://www.wibw.com/home/headlines/C...296674761.html Last edited by Jim Parsons; 03-19-2015 at 09:33 AM.

"Race fans will be pleased to know that both City Attorney Sublet and Colson have been told the NHRA will return to Topeka this year and a meeting this week will determine more specifics."
From the article in the link. |

It will be a good time, perfect cool weather for the 2 divisionals that are back to back in 4 days in August! The divisionals and National are on the HPT website but I cannot find anything on the bracket schedule. Or when the track is going to open. Sean

It's a short drive for me, and two points races for one close race worth of diesel. Sounds good to me. Hope it happens. No hotter than August in Oklahoma. :-)
