I haven't seen anything "official" posted by Galot, but the general feeling seems to be that it is for real. Take care. Tom Worthington

Tom, I wonder how many of the 7 tracks they claim to have acquired will actually show a deed change?

I have absolutely no idea. Maybe we'll find out soon.

I do wish they were trying to acquire tracks that had closed and/or were currently in a bind, rather than tracks that were already doing very well, without any "help". Take care. Tom Worthington

I think it would take a really big carrot for National Trail in C-Bus to switch.

Never say never. I just can't figure out why they are buying these tracks rather than simply sanctioning them. I could understand it, if they were bringing tracks back from the brink, or closed down. Take care. Tom Worthington

It has been confirmed. GALOT is being sold.

As I understand it, the IHRA is now part of an "entertainment" enterprise, with a variety of events.
Nitro cars, monster trucks, concerts, etc., etc., so I can understand wanting to have the gate control (income) at all of those sort of events.
I can get it, but good luck staffing multiple venues.
