blaarg - this has been discussed before and you are correct - it will never happen.
Why?
First track licence - the Dome is NOT licensed for CAMS racing on its own - never has been and never will be.
The only times the cars have run on the dome were as part of the two racs held there in 1987 as part of the International Circuit - the main track that then led onto the dome, back off and back onto the main track again. A number of cars reported major problems because of the high G forces experienced when on the dome section.
Surface - the dome CANNOT be used when it is wet or even damp - it is simply far too dangerous - all racing STOPS on the dome with even a light drizzle and even a dump from a radiator is evough to shut an event down.
And finally - maintenance - the surface of the dome is no longer suitable for racing without some major work being done on it and Bob Jane isn't currently about to spend any money on it. He had a proposal to the NASCAR drivers 12 months ago to resume racing on it but it required around a starting figure of $150,000 just to get the track up and running again for a club level event.
