Why are these people building tracks anywhere NEAR residential areas. The NCM track has been open for \<2 years and the neighbors are already trying to shut them down. ---

I have a feeling we’ll all be driving flying cars before CNYRP has it’s first racing event on a paved road course. Here’s their official 2016 announcement. [https://youtu.be/u5R1T2JDA60](https://youtu.be/u5R1T2JDA60) Gets a little suspicious when he talks about how far ahead of schedule the are, then eludes to paved course motorcycle racing next year. I also love the, “we’re probably the only track in the country to offer dirt and paved racing at one facility” statement. Are you or aren’t you? Seems like something you would have done your homework about before making the statement. ---

Frost out of the ground? FROST ?! WHAT FROST?! Racing this year? Seriously? I highly doubt it. ---

First time in the last 4.5 years of driving past this place that I can say they actually did something. Before it was, some brush cleared, some small mounds of tree stumps and dirt moved around. Now it is large mounds of dirt moved. Looks like a big berm running along with 81 fence line. ---

No, [https://lafayettemp.com/](https://lafayettemp.com/) This is the old go kart track that CNY-SCCA uses, they use to do it “enduro” style and let you lap it 5 times for a timed run. LaFayette just got completely repaved. Since the beginning of the thread: - NY Safety Track built - Pineview Run track built - Nelson Ledges complete repave I drove by CNYRP in Feburary and still nothing. ---

Going up north to visit relatives Friday so I’ll be driving past it on 81 so I’ll post an update soon. I’m going to go out on a limb and say they haven’t done shit though. ---

I’m going to recommend if you are going that area this weekend that you try to detour to Adirondack International Speedway and check out the Facebook group “Gambler 500 New York”. Think of it as 24 Hours of LeMons for seasonal roads. ---

As long as we’re bumping racetracks that will never get built threads… Central NY Raceway Park… the track in CNY off 81 by Bartell Rd. Every time I head up north to visit family I look over at the total lack of progress there. I think this was the last update and it was 2019. The FB page hasn’t been updated since 2017: > **[Central New York Raceway Park has not been sold: Your Stories](https://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/central-new-york-raceway-park-has-not-been-sold-your-stories/)** > >  The head of Central New York Raceway Park is dispelling rumors he's sold the still unfinished racing complex. ---
