Both the Dispatch and the Other Paper ran articles last week on the racetrack redevelopment being proposed at the old Cooper Stadium site. According to developers, it sounds like they’re now aiming for a more mixed-use purpose for the site, which could include BMX, motocross, and snowmobile events. They even stated that there may only be as few as 15 auto racing events per year, keeping the noisy days to a minimum. ROARColumbus doesn’t appear to have issued an update to their website since the coverage last week, but it seems that they’re still opposed to any type of racetrack concept entirely.
