Had heard about the track in Syracuse, glad too see its website ( thanks Scott) and that they are making progress. Sounds like they have some ambitious plans and are making progress. I’m thinking The Glen has the resources and space to be able to handle multiple events. For example if a car club or motorcycle club has the full track rented they could also possibly hold a kart race as well. Obviously not a National event but something more of a club type race were you would see more local racers than at a National type event.  I know the times we raced at Charlotte they had the WKA Road racing series on the Roval while the MFG Cup races were going on at the turn 3/4 sprint course. Gale is right that its an investment any way you look at it but I think the Glen has the connections/resources to make it happen if they could see the interest from the karting world.

Will – Count me in – practically grew up at the track as my dad raced in SCCA and IMSA events from the 60’s-90’s. Being only an hour away and having the facilities and history of the Glen available would be great. Even if the area behind the pits was setup to run as a temporary sprint track  it would be great, but if some of track could be incorporated that would be awesome.  Had a friend who corner marshaled during those karting events that used the whole track. He said it was mayhem at one point because they just opened the track and everyone hit the track at once. At one point so many karts where going into the catch fences in the chicane that used to be there in the esses that the corner workers threatened to not go back out after lunch break if they didn’t split up the karts into groups. Amazing to think what used to go on back in the day.

Todd, found this one to be accurate and didn’t break the bank.
