Default Big Shake up at Route 66

Yesterday at Route 66 some 20+ people lost there jobs, including the track manager. Rumor around here is that there will only be a National event in 2009. No brackets or Division race. I can not confirm on the racing,
but yes I can confirm on the firings......

What is going on here!!!!!

Will update as i get more info

Hopefully it's the DIRT and the OVAL tracks that are affected. Lee were the people fired or just laid-off for the winter?

24 People were FIRED from the Drag Strip.
I just heard from another person and he was told by a higher up that we will only have a National event and nothing else.

We are playing it by ear around here...... so we will see.

Guess that's what happens when you get a bunch of lawyers that own a race track.............

Unhappy Re: Big Shake up at Route 66

Some time ago a friend of mine told me that the dragstrip at Joliet was just foot in the door for the NASCAR track and that they now consider it just a parking lot for them. Perhaps he was right?
