Great times! Bring it back please!

Todd March 27, 2017 | Franklin

Let's get this done! We are so fortunate to have this historic racing facility here. For decades it showcased the top drivers from usac, nascar, indycar, and asa. The Mile attracted thousands of race fans each summer and those of us who attended races remember the spectacle of these events. Today, when I attend a Monster cup race, I wonder what if...what if the Mile had been properly managed, marketed, and allowed to grow and keep up with other motorsport facilities? How much money could the track have brought into our local economy in a single weekend? Bring back racing to The Mile and this time let's get it right! This old historic track could be great again!

Izzy Bonilla March 25, 2017 | Milwaukee

Even though I'm new to Milwaukee I've travel across the USA extensively, so having a facility like this in your own backyard is rare. If it goes or if it's not used you will never get it back. A P3 or Public Private Partnership is the only way to go in order to save the Mile. Support Please

Alan Turner March 19, 2017 | Cincinnati, Ohio

I love the Milwaukee Mile. I have watched Indycars there twice and really enjoyed both races!

Jody Papp March 18, 2017

My father raced there when it was dirt to bad greed rubbez ruined it.

Mark Pierson March 12, 2017 | New Berlin

Would like to see Racing back in Milwaukee! How about doing some AMA and CCS Moto gp Racing there! I'm sure the public would love to watch Motorcycle Racing!

Gary Sickels March 05, 2017

I will never forget Dick Trickle spinning on the front stretch looking into the crowd as he grabbed a gear to finish on a flat

Aaron Zsori March 04, 2017 | Waukesha

I've enjoyed coming to the mile since i was in my teens. Im 33 now. Miss the races there. Have many great memories with family and friends. Would love for racing to come back here.

Bill March 04, 2017 | Elkhorn, WI

With the resurgence of Indy racing and a Healthy NASCAR scene, there's no doubt regularly scheduled events at the mile would have a positive impact on the community.

Jake March 04, 2017 | Bruce, wi

Would love to see racing back at the mile so i could watch them!

David February 26, 2017 | Indianapolis, IN

One of the most iconic racing facilities in America cannot sit idle. Bring back The Mile!

Jim Gorecki February 25, 2017 | Menomonie, WI

Grew up on South 79th just north of turn four. My first race was in 1967. I came to the Mile with press credentials starting in 2003. One of my favorite places on earth. I sure miss the racing there!

John January 29, 2017 | USA

I've been to the Indy 500 from 2008-2013, going to Milwaukee was a tradition that was broken prematurely. IndyCar and Wisconsin need to bring light to open wheel racing to the state via media promotion. This venue should be a US historic landmark, why is it not?!

Jacob Schmidt January 28, 2017

Craig Strzyzewski October 06, 2016 | Milwaukee, WI

I drove this historic track a month ago as part of the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience. Just thinking I could be one of the last few people to drive this track in a list of racing legends blew my mind. Someone like Wallace or Penske should just write a fat check to own it and to keep corrupt State Fair management out of it.

Jacob Kryscio September 29, 2016 | Delafield, WI

Need to bring racing back to Milwaukee

Paul Roeber September 11, 2016 | Milwaukee

Would like to edit last entry,,,

Doing nothing will not bring it back.

Paul Roeber September 11, 2016 | Milwaukee

Hire whoever is running RA. They brought back "LeMans" in the early 2000's. Host any and every event there to build interest. Promote and get sponsors, advertise early, you cant get people there if they don't know in advance.

I would hate to see the track go, but I know doing nothing will bring it back.

Patti September 08, 2016 | West Allis

I grew up and still reside just blocks from the mile.
The sound of races is nostalgic to me and thus I love it.
I do not want to see it the mile go and I wish I understood all the political and business reasons why we can't seem to make the mile successful.
Racing may not be as big of a sport as it once was, but it is still a big sport. How does Road America fill their seats and we struggle? What are they and other successful race tracks doing that we are not? Why should this be so difficult?
I am just one person, but if there is anything I can do to help keep the mile and make it more successful, let me know what I can do.

Scott Therrian September 04, 2016 | New Berlin, WI

Unfortunately the mile will be torn down, Road America hosting indy cars no chance indy cars will go back to mile if RA is on schedule.

If you went to the mile the last couple indy races that were held there. You had to notice no one in the stands. Half the people in stands had free tickets.

Indy series on the verge of not making it dosent help either.

Nascar will never be back.

It's a business and no one is going to invest in a business that doesn't have revenue, Andretti tried but realized he couldn't turn it around either.

Sad news for sure

Joe Bill Kuester September 02, 2016 | McHenry, IL

This is a landmark for many of racers past and present. I have been attending the Fair and races since I was 6 years old. We already have enough Ghost Tracks out there.

Rick September 01, 2016 | Wadsworth, Illinois

Growing up, our family would always attend the State Fair and take in the race in August and the first race after Indy. It would be a shame to lose this historic track.

Erik Dettloff August 30, 2016 | Milwaukee

SCCA PDX events are awesome!

Phil step August 21, 2016 | Milwaukee

Don't take away my happy place

Randy Simmons August 18, 2016 | Green Bay

I've crewed there in just about every division. I love the place. It always been the super speedway for us midwest short trackers.
It's historical and a nice facility and should not go to waste because of management and government...

Gregory Zank August 17, 2016 | Menasha, WI

Having grown up in Milwaukee, the Mile always provided a great entertainment venue. USAC Stock Car races, ASA, USAC Indy Cars, this history is amazing. If neighbors don't understand the noise, they shouldn't have moved there

mike August 12, 2016 | salem wi

i grew up on racing at the mile. i am 66 yo and saw my first race at 6.
it would be horrible to see the mile gone

Diane Bogusz August 11, 2016

I have the most prudent plan and strategy to save and grow the MKE Mile and would like to meet with Kathleen O'Leary to discuss and implement plan.

Tim Taggart July 07, 2016 | Racine, WI

Last week's IndyCar event at Road America demonstrates that Open Wheel Racing in Wisconsin (and the Midwest) is alive and well !!! The Mile is too important to allow it to just fade away. A well organized sponsor is needed ... If you find one, they (fans) will come!!! RA proved that ...

Mark T Patterson July 04, 2016 | Appleton wi

The slide started when they would not let you drive to the infield, therefore no tailgating. I long for the 70's and 80's. Watch some youtube videos of those races, the infield was full to capacity.

Ed Wieland June 30, 2016 | Sheboygan,Wi

Don't let the mile die,I didn't miss a race in the 60s.
My daughter saw her 1st Indy race her at the mile.
Went to most of the races through the years.
It was Milwaukee after Indy
Please don't let this historic track die.

John Whiteman June 29, 2016 | Great Britain

Have just visited Millers at Milwaukee-wonderful event-it would be such a shame to loose the old mile

Brandon Dartt June 28, 2016 | Chicago

Raymond Heemstra June 26, 2016 | 731 stocking Ave NW Grand Rapids Michigan

The Milwaukee mile is a part of racing history and to lose it would be a shame if they are selling it off bit by bit just because it doesn't fit into their profit margins or what they define as profitable then mabye they are the problem and not the track itself in today's world all aspects of auto racing have become more competitive what they need to do is hire someone who knows how to promote auto racing and the tracks they race at its no longer good enough to have the fairgrounds do the promotion you have to have a professional at auto racing promotion and marketing in order to be competitive
And to the people that live nearby the track that whine and complain about the noise why the heck did you move in next door to an AUTO RACETRACK in the first place??? That's like moving in next door to an international airport and complaining about the jet airline passenger planes flying overhead at all hours of the day and night waking you up.....duh really?

Craig June 25, 2016 | Milwaukee, WI

Save the Mile, Have GoodGuys Car Show do some Vintage Drag Racing with NDRL.

Dean Chapman June 25, 2016 | South Milwaukee

The mile is a historic landmark. To those folks complaining about noise: Races were held every summer at least 50 years before you moved in. If you didn't benefit from lower real estate prices then complain to your agent, not us.

daniel remmel June 23, 2016 | Village of Harrison

Save it , once it is gone there is no going back.

Bentley Ouweneel June 23, 2016

Protect the mile as a state park or something like that.

Also, protect the mile as a Federally protected U.S. Historic site.

Call Jaye Frye head of Indy Car and tell him to get Milwaukee on the schedule the week after Indy returning it to it's rightful historic place. 317-492-8500

Tim June 22, 2016 | Indiana

The track is part of are history. To loose it would be a tremendous blow to the racing world. To think of the thousands of people that have attended races and the hundreds that have raced there. It needs to continue on.

Duane Nessman June 17, 2016 | Adams County

Let's save it....and get racing rolling again!!

idelle brooks June 16, 2016 | West Allis

Get rid of it! The noise is annoying , stressful and unhealthy to the people that live in the neighborhood. The stress it causes the citizens of West Allis that live near to the track is unfair! Every weekend now there's screeching tires, engine noise for hours!! It's going on as i write this on a Thursday afternoon at 4:30pm. The tire testing is unpredictable, it can go on past 5pm, any day of the week.The events are rarely attended, and its in debt and is not worth keeping. In order for it to be profitable it would require more tire testing and races and we already have had enough of this God forsaken noise! It is awful! Why should the few race car fans have more importance than the people that live here, day ??Please, get rid of it!!

Emily rembas June 13, 2016 | Oak creek wi

Love racing at the Mile. It would be a huge loss.

Bruce Buege June 13, 2016 | Milwaukee
