Did anyone hear about Atlanta Motor Speedway damage last night?

[Tracy]

Someone IMed me and told me that AMS had $40 million in damage last night due to the storm last night. I didn't see it on-line. I was wondering if anyone had seen it on the news or anything.

Umm, try 40 million + is what they are saying now and it wont reopen until October HOPEFULLY is what they are saying.

They will end up having to tear down all the structures and totally rebuild them.

^^ Yeah now they are saying $75 mil in damages. I believe most of the complex will have to be torn down and rebuilt.

I was told that since most of the damage happened to buildings that NOPI Nats doesn't even use anyway, that right now it's still on.

Actually the pics were courtesy of AMS website. They have a small write up about it on www.atlantamotorspeedway.com and the position tower is actually 5 stories tall Jaimie.

Listen here MR.....how many times do I have to tell yall young bucks to respect your elders and not try and correct me in public???? Damn biotches!@!!!!

Seriously, my buddy Christy put those up on our website, so I just cut and pasted. I didn't want her getting mad at me for taking credit or something. Although she's not like that.

I knew they were from AMS's website, but she did most of the work. I just cheated....

BTW, I came pretty close on the tower for just guessing.....

[topsecret2JZ]

hope they still have nopi this year

[JC]

I don't know, I think Mark may just be saying that for now. Honestly, I don't think he even knows what is gonna happen. But I highly doubt it will be held at the AMS, they will have to relocate for sure. But a representative from the AMS said that there is not a part of the AMS that is not damaged, and the entire grandstand seating area is destroyed as well as all the garages in the center of the track where the vendor booths are set up. The AMS rep said they would be lucky to be able to open for the race in October.

I am thinking that Mark doesn't know the extent of the damage, and AMS has so many problems on their hands that don't have the time to talk to Mark to discuss the plans for NOPI. I don't think it will be possible to have NOPI there this year.

IF, and it is a big IF, they can get the infield area repaired I could see them letting NOPI use only that area but the damages keep going up the more they inspect so it will be close. This will be intresting to see if NOPI is there this year.

they won't move Nats, there isn't anywhere else equiped to handle the traffic

[A.P. Photography]

^^ I agree, AMS is the only venue large enough to hold it in the ATL. However, if the Nats keep growing then AMS will not be able to handle the show either. I am just intrested to see how this will all play out.
