22.2 New Track Projects List

The New Track Projects List is a compilation of major race track
development projects announced or underway. I've tried to be as
accurate and comprehensive as possible. My major sources for the
information in the list were the key US racing publications: National
Speed Sport News, Racer, On Track, and Autoweek.
  If you find errors, or have more detailed information on any of the
projects, or know of projects I've missed, please contact me [ George
Allegrezza, allegrezza@tnpubs.enet.dec.com.] In addition, I'd
appreciate it if you'd be kind enough to forward any information on
projects as they meet (or don't meet) significant milestones, such as
environmental impact statement approvals, construction starts, and the
like. Not all of these events will be covered in the racing press,
especially if a project is delayed or canceled.
  I'm especially interested in any graphic material that illustrates
the projects' scope and design, such as artists' renderings and track
layouts. Often, the projects' draft environmental reports (DEIRs) will
contain this information. I'm hoping to include such material in a
future version of the list (provided it doesn't croak Andrew's server).
If you are able to provide hard copy material, I can make arrangements
to have it scanned in. Please contact me for a fax number or US mail
address.
  This list ended up being totally US-centric. I would like to expand
the scope of the list to include all of the major racing countries, but
I don't have access to much information about track projects outside
the US. If you do, and you'd like to have the project included in the
NTPL, please send the information to me at
allegrezza@tnpubs.enet.dec.com.
  As with most types of development projects, all plans are tentative
until ground-breaking occurs and construction starts, and developers
are notoriously optimistic by nature. A healthy dose of skepticism is
probably advisable, even for the the most accomplished of race track
developers. For example, it seems likely that only one or two of the
seven major projects planned for Southern California will come to
fruition.
  Note that, of all the projects on the NTPL, only Homestead is
actually under construction.
  Thanks to Dave Reninger for details on Maryland Motorsports Park.

Buttonwillow
  Location:Near Bakersfield, California, USA
  Nearest Large City:Los Angeles
  Circuit type:2+ mile road circuit
  Seating Capacity:unknown
  Developers:Cal Club (SCCA Southern California chapter)
  Site:Undeveloped
  Projected Completion:unknown
  Committed Race Dates:none
  NIMBY Factor:Medium
  Current Status: Cal Club needs $ 1 million in financing to begin work
  on this road circuit, which is oriented towards club activities but
  could hold a pro race.

California Speedway
  Location:Fontana, California, USA
  Nearest Large City:Los Angeles
  Circuit type:Phase 1: 2-mile "D" oval; Phase 2: drag strip, 975,000
  sq. ft. R & D center
  Seating Capacity:93,500
  Developers:Penske Speedways, Kaiser Resources
  Site:Former industrial area, 547 acres
  Projected Completion:Phase 1: September 1996; Phase 2: undefined
  Committed Race Dates:CART (September 1996); NASCAR (committed but
  not specified)
  NIMBY Factor:Medium
  Current Status: Draft environmental impact report being prepared for
  San Bernadino County Board of Supervisors. Kaiser has purchased 20 %
  of Penske Speedways. Large scale environmental cleanup of 570-acre
  site, at a projected cost of $ 10 million, is a prerequisite. Local
  Congressman Henry Waxman, an ardent anti-smoking crusader, is opposed
  to the project, which may cause problems even for a developer as
  powerful as Penske.

Golden State International Motorsports Park
  Location:Hanford, Kings County, California, USA
  Nearest Large City:San Francisco
  Circuit type:Phase 1: drag strip; phase 2, 1.5 mile tri-oval
  Seating Capacity:unknown
  Developers:Mellin International, Ltd. (Hong Kong)
  Site:1 sq. mi., undeveloped
  Projected Completion:1995
  Committed Race Dates:none
  NIMBY Factor:Medium
  Current Status: Mellin and it's US representative, Roger Boschman,
  have secured Kings County approval for construction of a $ 20 million
  complex in the San Joaquin Valley. Construction is scheduled to begin
  in January 1995. Bill Huth of Willow Springs International is
  advising the Mellin interests on this project.

Transwest Park
  Location:Long Beach, California, USA
  Nearest Large City:Los Angeles, DC
  Circuit type:Phase 1: 1.2 mile tri-oval; Phase 2: industrial park,
  automotive R & D center, hotel
  Seating Capacity:unknown
  Developers:Chris Pook, Long Beach Grand Prix Association
  Site:Defunct oil field
  Projected Completion:Phase 1: 1997; Phase 2: 2001
  Committed Race Dates:none
  NIMBY Factor:Medium
  Current Status: Long Beach GP promoter Pook proposes this racing and
  industrial complex atop a busted-out oil field on the Long
  Beach-Signal Hill border. Pook believes a permanent circuit will be
  required to maintain racing in Long Beach as development escalates.
  The site will require a significant environmental cleanup effort.
  Pook is a leader of the anti-IndyCar faction among promoters and is
  expected to either run the LBGP under IRL sanction or secure a
  separate IRL date if that series goes forward.

Autoplex
  Location:Palm Springs, California, USA
  Nearest Large City:Los Angeles
  Circuit type:1.5-mile oval
  Seating Capacity:80,000
  Developers:David Christian
  Site:Undeveloped

  NIMBY Factor:Medium-High
  Current Status: The principals have filed a proposal with the
  Riverside County Board of Supervisors for approval of this project,
  which is near the site of the now-defunct Riverside International
  Raceway. Substantial opposition has been encountered from USAF
  retirees living near March AFB.

Southdown
  Location:Victorville, California, USA
  Nearest Large City:Los Angeles
  Circuit type:1.5-mile oval, short oval, road course, R & D center,
  entertainment complex
  Seating Capacity:235,000 (final phase)
  Developers:Southdown, Inc., Agajanian Bros.
  Site:900-acre former concrete plant
  Projected Completion:late 1995
  Committed Race Dates:none
  NIMBY Factor:Medium
  Current Status: Concrete producer Southdown, supplier of concrete to
  NASCAR tracks such as Bristol, has backed the Agajanians in their bid
  to build an oval in Southern California before Roger Penske.
  Ground-breaking is supposed to occur in January of 1995. The
  Agajanians' close links with USAC should help them secure an IRL date
  if Chris Pook doesn't switch the LBGP to F1 or IRL.
