New track in merced
I tried searching and i think this is new news.... this track looks AMAZING!!! and its gonna have everything from karting to rally x to a 3 mile track with 40 different variations!!! I hope nobody posted this yet but another thing is it is ALL ready to be built but it needs approval by the merced chairmen or something.... I guess if you go here http://www.rmpracing.com/fast_track_0705.pdf and email the two guys at the bottom with your approval it'll help... doesn't sound to me like they are going to need the help though.

no. According to their press releases they just submitted there EIR (enviromental impact report) to merced in august. I can guaruntee that they are far from being complete. My guess is that it will be open in a minimum of a few years assuming everything goes smoothly and nobody attempts to sue or stop them.

Yeah, well something like this takes a lot of time and money. I hear they are far into their EIR and the modesto chairmen or whatever are going to vote on it soon. I don't see why they wouldnt want it because of how good it could be for the local economy/put them on the map.
I think they have a pretty good shot but I do agree that it will take a couple years most likely

...they are getting a UC campus...I hope they build the track too though.
yeah, saw this LONG time ago. Unfortunately, the State of Cali doesn't really support automotive racing. Many smaller race tracks are suffering and some even have been running without a business license. Many have closed or are closing down.
