Geeze, I'm starting to get the feeling that our city's white trash population is under attack. First the Blazers fold, and now it's being reported that the State Fair Speedway is closing. Before you know it, they city's going to demolish all the Frisbee golf courses, too.
The state fairgrounds has likely seen its last motor race because $400,000 in electrical repairs must immediately be made before racing could be safely conducted next season, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett said Monday night...
State Fair Speedway completed its 55th season of racing last summer. The decision was made long ago that it would remain open as long as racing could be safely conducted, but no more capital dollars would be invested in it, Cornett said.
"The track has served us well for 50 years, but it's not the best place for racing the next 50 years," Cornett said.
