    Just wanted to see if anyone was aware of the new track coming to bowling green, KY. Looks like it will be a fantastic track for track days. There are looking for track day events specifically. Here is the link to get to there page and view the track overlook. They have broke ground and looks to have rolling hills when I drove by the other day.:rawk:

    I just looked at this last night after I saw some pictures from Electric Eye from the ground breaking. Looks really nice from the plans.

    If you check out their website and look at all of the people and groups making donations I don't think they'll have a problem meeting their funding. Each membership to their "One Acre Club" is $15,000. There are a few people who are up to being 5 acre club members. Corvette people are passionate!

    I think they started with 185 1 acre deals and only have about 25 left. So looks like they are doing pretty well with fund raising!

    Always great news to hear of a track being built. Is this being operated like Monticello & Autobahn as a country club?

    Can't wait for it to be finished. The Desmo Club here in Nashville have been talking to them for sometime about using the track. It's only 1 1/2 hours from Nashville :thumb:

    Glad to see everyone is excited about the new track. I am really going to have some sleepless nights before it opens. Can anyone rival Barber Motorsports park? Only time will tell.:woot:
