    Milwaukee Gone, For Good

    thank you supporters of the Visions, you suck!

    hey indycool, when you set out twenty years ago to destroy open wheel racing, did you think you would be so successful?

    One of the best oval tracks gone. I'm not big oval fan but have enjoyed racing here for many years. I will miss this track that produced good oval racing every year. Least we have china. Idiots!
    Keep it fast, keep it real!!!

    Sounds like someone else who is in the news all the time blaming someone or something else for the situation in which they find themselves.

    The revolving door of promoters, six or seven in the last twenty years, at least two of which ripped off the state, NASCAR, INDYCAR, vendors and the fans had nothing to do with the lack of action at the track.

    It is unfortunate, but I do not think the track is set up for success with it's current state ownership.

    I'll miss Milwaukee too, but... another way to think about this is that now the market in Wisconsin has no race... and Road America is sitting there all lonely and unused...

    While the spilt did not help, I think Milwaukee's problems are more local/track/promoter oriented than the CART/IRL split and it is a bit unfair to place this particular failure on TG - just sayin'.... :
