The cycle track? The cycle club uses it!

But I've often wondered about a dirt oval race on it. Dirt oval as opposed to NASCAR, meaning proper sideways action - its offroad and the vehicles they use IRL are pretty close to buggys so they'd look right.
Not sure what effect it might have on the track though - I suspect we might do more damage than the cycle speedway folks do.

I've done proper NASCAR style oval racing years back (with a buggy) at a velodrome. Its pretty awesome - massive motors, sky high gearing and high speed drafting were the order of the day. But the only velodrome I know of round here is the National Cycling Centre and I doubt they'd go for that.....

But I think Johnny's original idea is to make a track at Goshen that is simply missing an infield ie made only out of the out portions of our track. That would mean its got 2 big straights, but only one banked bend. It also means it has the two table tops, including the step up, so its certainly buggy racing, just very fast.
