We need to save the Milwaukee Mile. It is part of both Milwaukee and Racing history. If we can save steam trains to run on ribbons of rail, why cant we save a track we enjoy racing on and watch racing on.

The legacy of The Mile needs to be saved. It's a part of racing history. Simply look at the names of the people who've won there, the greatest this continent has known. "After Indy we go to Milwaukee" - Paul Newman in "Winning". The way it should always be.

Please save the Milwaukee Mile. It was always one of my favourite tracks back in the CART days. Now, even if a big name like Indycar can't be drawn back in, this track needs to be saved for those of us who compete on an amateur level.

Went to my first race at the Mile in 1965. Nothing can compare to a one mile, low banked true oval. I miss it. I've been to Indy, Daytona, Michigan and Chicagoland and they can't match the up close excitement that Milwaukee offers. It would be a shake to give up on it.

Not only is The Mile historic, it also makes for a unique exciting type of racing -- working through lapped traffic. When it's gone there's no getting it back.

I moved back to the area and really wish that an investment could be made in the Milwaukee Mile again! I'd commit to be at almost every race. I moved back to Wisconsin after living in California for 31 years. I went to races at the Milwaukee Mile as a kid.

The Milwaukee Mile is one of the wonders of the world. There is way too much racing history to close this racetrack down. I can recall that the late Andy Granatelli stated that this was the best oval raced on after the Indy 500. Racers loved it and kindly reconsider shutting it down. Thank you.

Save the Mile: This facility has much history and way to much potential for a bright future just to let it go to waste. Would be a shame not to at least try and lure a promoter that will bring back some form of top notch racing.

The Milwaukee Mile just as much apart of American Motorsports History as Indianapolis is. This historical track must be preserved and brought back to use by a Championship Racing Series, hopefully the ones that made it famous, IndyCar and NASCAR.
I plead that you see the importantance and significance of this place.

KEEP THE MILE : Racing is a part of the American Heritage and The Milwaukee Mile has hosted all the Greats from the Unsers, the Andrettis, Mears, Foyt, etc.. all the Royalty!
This is yet another piece of Ethnicity & Heritage being lost to the Modern Age.
Do Not Allow the Mile to sit idle.. bring back the Big Races & Make it affordable for families, and you will see 'Build It and They Will Come' to see the race :)
Sincerely,

We absolutely cannot let this legendary track go unused. It's a shame it sits vacant for most of the year. It's about time to bring back some big events and people of the surrounding area need to come out to support this jewel sitting in the middle of our community!

Racetracks are testaments to the creative and competitive spirits of the human race. Venues as storied as Milwaukee Mile must be preserved so future generations may enjoy them too.

Milwaukee cannot afford to lose a gem like the famous Milwaukee Mile. The track got tons of media coverage when the CART race was held a week after the Indy 500 and was a very successful race weekend. INDYCAR, please return the schedule to the early 1990s with the Mile in early June and Road America in August or September! I was so proud to live in a city with two of the best racetracks in the world within an hour of my house. Please save this important historical hallowed ground!

The celebration of progress brings hope for the future, however we MUST be cautious to ensure that our future has a strong foundation or it will simply be false dreams that will surely crumble beneath our feet. As we look to create a strong future, we must never sacrifice our heritage.
The “Milwaukee Mike” is proof to the strength and character of the motor racing industry. We need to dedicate our efforts to preserving who we are and where we came from because a future that is not built on the strength of our past is no future at all.

Attended so many races at the infamous Milwaukee Mile. What a wonderful place and so many great memories. Many families have memories there and want to continue their traditions with their children. That track has been updated and needs to be preserved, not torn down like so much of the history in our country.

All the community miss it and the racers don't have where to race anymore. Don't repeat this with the Milwaukee Mile! We have to preserve and estimulate our history! Be responsible!
God bless you and I really hope that, soon I visit USA, the Milwaukee Mile be safe!
