i thought i heard somebody bought/ took over GLD and theyll be running next year???? its a little bullring track with a crappy backside but its actually kinda fun makin the short trip up there from chitown and runnin1

Depending on the way this new track is managed, one could see a return to the days when Detroit was a major stop on the Midwestern circuit. The Michigan Mile (later Mile and One Eighth) was a G2, like the Mas 'Cap. Nearctic won it, so did champions Old Hat, Nodouble, Crimson Satan, and My Juliet. Headliners like Damascus (under 133 lbs), Tom Rolfe, Roman Brother, Autobiography, and On the Sly shipped in and lost.

If they intend to race in March and November, I assume they will be installing an all-weather surface. Being a Minnesotan, I know that those months are part of winter in the northern tier.
