help needed for SGMP

Denny Steward · 02-08-2015, 12:34 AM

Racers the new owners of SGMP need your help!!! I am very good friends of the new owners of SGMP and they have been busting their butts to make everything happen in time to hold the D-2 points race, but today they were told NHRA is taking it from them. This is not new to them they know what it takes to run a good program. They are go getters that will take SGMP to next level!! As racers we need to support track owners that go the extra mile. So please e-mail and call any one you would like to at NHRA, and tell them this race needs to stay at SGMP you won't be sorry

Three straight races at Gainesville? Not sure all the snowbirds will get excited over this rumored schedule. Try putting up some links to insure correct contacts.

What's the latest? I heard the race is on as scheduled.

Div 2 should publish something so we know. We have planned our whole spring around this, and which Div we claim. That is for several of us down here. Somebody send an email to Div 2 and ask for clarification.

I'm afraid it's a done deal. Ozzy Moya (owner of Orlando Speed World and Lakeland Dragway) has purchased SGMP from the previous owner but the NHRA has yanked the race from SGMP and all three races will be contested at Gainesville. I would think there will be something official soon. Jim

Thanks Jim

Byron yes it was to be run as scheduled but yesterday out of the blue he was told they were moving it to Gainesville. D2 director was even at the sale. Not sure what NHRA is thinking on this one.

That Sucks!! I guess on the plus side you can come back from Orlando, stop in Gainesville and find a good parking spot for the next 30 days, LOL

Profit. They have a captive audience at Gainesville for 3-4 weeks. They don't have to share any of the income with a track owner.

Sounds like some more rational thinking from the same idiot that came up with the 4 races in 5 weeks schedule.
