I grew up in Milwaukee watching dirt track and races at the mile. I attended Jim Clark's first practice runs in his Lotus Ford and saw Jim Hurtibese, AJ Foyt, and Roger Ward duel it out nose to tail until Hurtibese major crash when Foyt car misfired and slowed on the front stretch. Please keep Indy cars running at the Mile.

Saw Mario win, saw Mario hit the wall in turn one and got AJ Foyts autograph in the pits; that is the Milwaukee Mile. The track rocks!!!

The Mile has more history, more heritage, and more of a legacy than even Indianapolis itself. IndyCar, you would be making a huge mistake to abandon this this track. Please make racing at Milwaukee a reality again, or you will be losing some of your most dedicated fans.

Who in their right mind other than a non-racing fan would let go of an heirloom such as the Milwaukee Mile. Management, ownership, Milwaukee and the great state of Wisconsin need to put a focus on not just saving but enhancing the Milwaukee Mile!

The recently published, in time for IndyFest 2015, The Milwaukee Mile was written to tell the Track's long and historic story. I wanted people to understand why those who are passionate about it - want the track saved. From the days of Harness racing up through today, it's jam packed with drivers, track changes, everything that contributed to the great memories so many generations have tucked away. To "Save the Mile" is more than a slogan, it's a feeling, an emotion - we can't let it slip away.

I have been a past season ticket holder at the mile and I could not agree more then with David Hobbs comment during the race yesterday that the powers are willing to spend $250 million to keep the BUCKS here but do nothing to save the historic Milwaukee Mile - hmmmm politics????

I grew up just blocks from the track and have gone every year since I was young. A lot of people love the track but it needs a more reasonable, consistent date as well as more modern amenities to help attract the younger crowds.

It would be very out of order for the Milwaukee Mile to have to bite the dust. A track with endless history, it's not just another oval. It's the oldest auto racing track in the United States of America, and a unique one as well. The closing of this venue would remove a significant part of American history, and that is certainly not something that needs to be done. If the decision is made to close the race track, I can guarantee that the people in charge of the decision will regret doing so in the future.

Let's keep racing (Indy Cars) at the Milwaukee Mile. Milwaukee needs this. The world gets to see the race, track, and Milwaukee as a sports entertainment venue. It's great exposure for the entire area. We already lost the Circus Parade, the areas biggest attraction. Will we let racing at The Mile die too?

They are kidding right? Grew up around the Mile in West Allis since childhood, now live in southern Cal. That mile itself should be a historical landmark for Milwaukee giving its long history.
That track has got to be one of the oldest racing venue's in the world. Many fond memories of Rodger Ward, AJ Foyt, Mario etc etc. and lets not to mention the local modified celebrities Miles Milieus, Fasbender, Burtzer pardon the bad spelling of the names.

Aside from the Indianapolis 500, this is the race I always look forward to. In terms of history and prestige in open wheel racing it is probably second only to the IMS. It is a racing institution. It is a right of passage for the USA's and the world's greatest drivers. I agree that the track needs to be sold to someone who understands this or management that understands this and knows how to market the race needs to be put in place. It should not be developed into just another set of condos, strip malls, or cheap suburban housing. There is enough of that already. There is only 1 of the oldest continually used race tracks in the world and that's the Mile. Honestly, it should be designated a historical landmark. It will be a sad chapter in racing history if the Milwaukee Mile is destroyed.

In all fairness, guys, this is not the forum to take cheap shots at the Fair board. I have seen great success with other county owned fairgrounds speedways, when the fair board simply leases the operation to an outside party. I don't know how much consideration this has been given, Obviously Mr. Andretti has taken a shot at the Mile in some fashion to keep Indy cars coming, but who can jump into this role other than a Menard, Penske, Andretti...?
He's out there, so please Fair Board, hold on until we find him. The tradition, the history, the ability to utilize this awesome facility is something we don't want to lose. To a kid from Wisconsin (the Midwest) making laps at Milwaukee is as close as we may get to Indy or Daytona. Sure was the highlight of my racing career.

It's time for the Fair Park Board to realize that they know absolutely NOTHING about racing!!! With proper promotion and multiple events (large and small) The Mile can be a huge asset for the next 110 years. Find someone who can run this track!!! It's not you Fair Park Board.

I dont want to see the Mile go. Its my home town track and I love that it is still here. Bring something here besides just Indy car. Its worth a few ARCA, USAC, ASA races. Its the Legendary Mile.

A great old track.
Seems like a Midwest, like ARCA, CRA, ASA, or similar tour should want to race the mile. Maybe not as big as NASCAR, but something to keep the track alive

Spent all that money in adding grandstands and fixing up the place just to destroy it.. how stupid.. Bring weekend races and nascar back. Track has too much history to demolish. Don't make it were no one has anything to do like the city already is doing, Keeps kids out of trouble and it's a family tradition to a lot of familys out there. Brings the city more money too due to tourism. Get someone who knows what there doing just like andretti is doing and promote more.
