The Milwaukee Mile is a landmark in my opinion and a great flat track to watch racing. They need to promote the track more on a national level to get visitors here to our great city. Throw in a festival and all the awesome things Milwaukee has to offer in the Summer, vacation here is a no brainer!!

Gotta get Nascar and Indy to come, motorcycles/horse races would be cool if possible. Build up the facility to allow these to happen and think of the racing and revenue coming into Milwaukee/West Allis for a few weekends in the summertime...

There is too much great history in this track to let it go. A track nowadays with 35,000 seats is perfect for a nascar cup race, or at least xfinity, trucks, or indy car. #SaveTheMile

Not sure what pen pushing suit wearing official in office wants to do away with this, but someone with their head in the motorsports lifestyle could make this venue truly profitable. I bought my house last year about a half mile from the track and they had auto cross going on the night of my showing and it was awesome hearing the cars going around please save this!

The Milwaukee Mile is legendary around the world. People from Europe, South America and Asia don't know the Brewers, Bucks, or Packers, but many of them recognize the Milwaukee Mile. It puts Milwaukee on a Global stage more than any other asset we have. It's too bad our local media refuses to embrace this concept and help promote events there...if they did, there would never be any discussion of having it go away. Support the Mile!

I have many memories here and absolutely love the sounds coming out of Milwaukee during summer with the races going on. Please don't think about the money, it can do nothing but bring it in if you had the right staff behind it. I agree with my buddy Ace. I love the mile the sounds the atmosphere and the Indy car races last year were phenomenal

I grew up in West Allis to the sound of racing. My heros were on the Mile. The Iconic Mile Moment is Sunday morning when the neighborhood church bells ring followed by that other beautiful sound...racing engine starts!
Sometimes we have a lack of imagination in our town. We could have a vintage race car museum at the Mile that would be a year around attraction. Unlike many racing museums, it would have "pride of place" because it belongs there. Imagine families coming to our town to see two authentic museums for race cars and motorcycles. We could have a special day each year where we exercise vehicles from both on Amercia's oldest running track. To see and hear that would be nothing less than living history.
I'll volunteer some time and effort toward this. Who else is in?

I started going to CART races 30 years ago at "The Mile" with my Grandfather. Sad to see that it has lost the Indy Race. My family has made it an annual event and I was hoping to continue the tradition with my kids. It is hard to understand how Indycar can't somehow retain some history.

MY DAD TOOK ME TO MY FIRST RACE WHEN I WAS TWO YEARS OLD. THAT WAS BACK IN 1952. THE MEMORIES ARE STILL IN MY MIND AND I HOPE THEY WILL CONTINUE FOR YEARS TO COME. THE MILWAUKEE MILE WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE TRACK. ALL OF THE BEST DRIVERS PAST AND PRESENT LOVE THIS TRACK FOR ITS CHARACTER AND COMPETITION. FATHERS AND SONS LIKE THE BETTENHAUSENS, ANDRETTIS, UNSERS, AND OTHERS LOVE THIS TRACK. ALSO LETS NOT FORGET GREAT DRIVERS LIKE REX MAYS, CHUCK STEVENSON, JIM HURTIBISE, EDDIE SACHS, AJ FOYT PARNELLI JONES, JOE LEONARD, GORDON JOHKCOCK, MIKE MOSELEY AND ALL THE GREAT NAMES OF RACING. I PRAY THAT SOMEONE COMES FORWARD WITH A SOLUTION TO BRING BACK GREAT RACING MEMORIES FOR FAMILIES AND FANS AT 'THE MILWAUKEE MILE' LIKE IT DID FOR MY FAMILY AND ALL THE LOYAL RACING FANS OF "THE GREAT MILWAUKEE MILE". NOW LET'S GO RACING. AMEN.
