Since the first planned lapping day had to be cancelled at Edenvale the rumours have been flying, a few rather nasty. As we were the first ones to break the news of the revival it obviously was best to go to the boss man, Lee Abrahamson, to get the proper story.
The original plan called for the use of land adjacent to the Aerodrome as well as the Aerodrome property. All seemed to be a go until suddenly at the end of April the adjacent land owner decided not to complete the lease deal. Lee then had to reconfigure his planned layout utilizing only the property within Edenvale Aerodrome. Obviously this has put all plans well behind including the final agreement with the owners of Edenvale. Remember this is a working Aerodrome and everything has to be planned around that.
A verbal agreement has been concluded and Lee is expecting the first signing of paperwork by the end of this week. From there it will lead to a 20 year lease which once signed will allow construction to proceed. You do not sort out the legal details of a project like this overnight.
So as of now all is still a go. It is just going to be longer than planned and hoped before things are operational.

How much does it cost to pave road? If these kinds of things are actually viable business ventures, why not find some parcel of land in the middle of nowhere, based on distance from residents, and build a track from scratch?

I agree that it should be just that easy but look at the trouble existing tracks are having, not to mention Fort Erie's troubles or Calabogies. A good friend up the road wants to put in a campground on his 300 acre parcel and they are making him jump through more hoops than one can imagine. Meanwhile their is another campground about 1/4 mile further down the same road.
I feel anything around here is great and might even teach the younger drivers that adding neon and chrome does not make them race car drivers blasting across town
