Let there be no doubt the sale of NHIS is all about taking away one of the races. The new 1.5 mile cookie cutter tracks have seating capacity much larger (20/30%) than NHIS. My back of the envelope calculations would indicate that you could pay for the acquisition on NHIS in 2/3 years with one race at a new track. Bob Bahre has been a great gift to NH, the thousands of people who work at the track, both for themselves and charites will miss not only the racing but the generous way they were treated by NHIS. Smith or IMS (France co.) are both publicly held companies, whos operating model is making money. They are good business people, so things at the track will change dramatically when a sale takes place.

Thanks again to Bob and the Bahre family for a great contribution to the Lakes Region and the State as we move into a new phase of motor sports in the north east.
