Worst week of the year for me at work so I can't weasle the afternoon off. Anyone else planning on going?

What's your weather up there been doing? Hopefully this will move right along and get done by their target date. I just hope there's enough interest to support it.

Are they doing a turf course too?

Had a chance to drive by the location yesterday. Most of the land has been cleared of shurb/brush/undergrowth. Many of the trees have been removed as well. A section - I believe it would be the entrance/parking - has been leveled. Another larger area of upturned earth was seen, this is the area I would guess would be the track. Saw a pump on the site, there was a lot of standing water.

I'm no expert in these things, but I would say they're going to have to hustle to get things completed by July 18th. Still, it's nice to see progress being made, unlike Magna and the Romulus property.

I will try to mosey by the site when I'm up there in early July....should be a track in place (at least) by then. I'll miss the opening.
