Why Not Get Des Moines back in the Speedway Business?

What is not cool, let alone ok is Des Moines does not have a servicable, active speedway. It is as bum as the good Sushi Chefs being on the other side of town and your stuck with idiots who can't cut a good tree, much less good sushi.

I wonder if we had our officials leave the lobbyists be, would have an easier time getting new raceway? I am eager wanting to get to a great future ASAP, but,  the agitation and the aggression in not being the other side  is infuriating.

If we had a more stable Short Track Scene that was not littered in High Turnover for not doing it right, we'd have a Dirt Track or a Short Track like some Dragstrips. To be frank and fair, I'd want to be the League Champ more than once, not just the Conference or Rivalry Champ.

Why not get Des Moines back in the Speedway Business again? The closer you are to a Speedway Again, the easier racing would become again. I've even hit out wanting a New State Fairground to match a New Speedway in the future.

If nothing else, I'd like to see like either a Rodeo Season at the Barn/Arena or Supercross at Drake Stadium or Stadium or Monster Trucks just to keep us in dirt. Even though I'd be pitchin' for nothin', it seems like, but, what is the principle of group therapy if no no one wants to meet up, even for Coffee or SEC Sports?

The University of Iowa and Johnson County Fair Combination, Could it be on the table?

Even though the Johnson County Fair and the University of Iowa combination in the past even in jest would be met with a strong no, in general conversation, but, I feel like no option is off the table in this regard.

Even though there seperate parts of Iowa City, but, I feel like extending the options that are on table for everyday Iowa Citians. I think having a safe proper concert venue in Hancher's "Off Season" and trying to have theater or concert at Duane Banks Field or the Football Barn, because I have problems with Carver Hawkeye accomadating disabled Iowans well who need assistance and that is for regular gamedays.

And, having Tennis or World Cup Soccer at Kinnick. I don't think Kinnick would make a high enough to be multipurpose racing or country concerts, and we are sadly at peace it is not a national park and its ability to do most multipurpose events that aren't relative to sports is nil, including Winter Classics.

Johnson County's long served niche is being the 4H Fair better than everybody, even besting the Iowa State Fair. Certainly, I hate to make it about our state not making money, but, we need to find ways to within reason do outreach from Drag Racing to Farming to Soccer to Concerts Venues safe and sound. There would be a lot of work just to get these camps on table, I can't deny that.

The challenge in Iowa City and University of Iowa and University Heights Iowa City is being boxed in like a New York City and not handling lean times and safety and security well at all. I feel like, too, if the offseason is a deader zone than the Gulf or bad digital signals, at least use it constructively just to avoid being lockhorned into the same old thing until Homecoming.
