Default New Race Track Article from AL.

http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnew...7704289324.xml story

I need to go out and get the real newspaper and see if they have picture or artist interpretation of it. The track is ready as of 03' which looks to hold any type car and motorcycle event around the world. The track I've been told wide enough and contructed tough enough to hold even the Big rig truck races they have over in Europe which is always fun to watch.
