This meaningful petition begins with a personal tale. For three generations, my family and many others have raced at Triple F Raceway, previously known as Marion County International Raceway. The track holds not just our tire marks, but our memories, our triumphs, and our well-spent time. Unfortunately, the track has been closed to the public, severing a connection that is deeply significant to us. Today, we are urging the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) to buy Triple F Raceway and reopen it to the public.

Our plea stems from the belief that our passion and tradition for racing deserves to be kept alive. Race tracks like MCIR not only serve as venues for national competitions but also represent a significant aspect of local culture and community cohesion. Besides, a study by Deloitte shows that public raceways could generate substantial economic benefits due to their potential to attract tourism, public events, and other commercial opportunities [Deloitte, 2019].

By acquiring Triple F Raceway, IHRA can help ensure that the raceway's legacy endures, providing a venue for racing enthusiasts, breeders, and competitors, just as it has for my family and I over the years. It's time for us to reignite this track's past glory and continue to inspire future generations with the thrill of racing.

This is our track. This is our heritage. Let us preserve it. Help us urge IHRA to buy and reopen Marion County Raceway to the public. Sign this petition and let our passion and legacy race forward!
