From my local Harford County paper today, The Record:

Several members of the stadium's event planning staff cringed during Wednesday's stadium management board meeting cringed when [board chair] Campion confirmed the Aberdeen City Council agreed there would be no more auto racing events permitted in the stadium parking lot.

She said the council decided racing events caused damage to the stadium's asphalt parking lot, which never received its final seal coat.

Members of the stadium's event planning team had concerns that eliminating races and road rallies would cut a significant revenue source.

Campion explained it was too late to object to the decision, since a city engineer had completed a study and determined the damage was too great.

"I think we've done everything we can do," she said. "The city just told me it has to stop."
