No Problem Raceway Sold

Jim Wahl · 03-22-2011, 12:48 PM

I guess we all knew this was coming. Lord knows you certainly deserve a break as you have worked so hard to make NPR one of the premier and fun tracks in this country or anywhere else! You two have fun and don't go too far! We still need people like you in this sport. Jim

Greg Hill · 03-22-2011, 01:41 PM

Congratulations old friend. I know you and Linda have both put your heart and soul into No Problem and I hope it paid off for you. Good luck with your future plans. I know a bunch of race tracks that could benefit from your wisdom.

Speedworld in Whitman, AZ would be a great place for you to drop in as a consultant!

Dan Bennett · 03-22-2011, 03:34 PM

Pat, I think I know where you're coming from since a motorcycle wreck in 03 changed my life forever. As much as I hate to see you leave the "funnest" track in the country I I think you and Linda are doing the right thing.

At first I was really upset to lose your talents, but then it dawned on me that now you might have a chance to show the other 95% of track operators how a facility OUGHT to be run.

Best wishes and never forget to have fun.

Pat & Linda, good luck, and Pat, I'll be letting you know about our **** chat we talked about this past weekend about other races

Ron Ortiz · 03-22-2011, 08:17 PM

Pat, you deserve the break that you need. Thank you for all the great times I had when I had the opportunity to attend. I wish that I could have gone this year but economics had a great deal to do with it. I know that you will be a tremendous asset to other track operators if they follow only a part of your strategies in making a racer friendly experience.
And thank you to all the wonderful people that I have met at the Cajun Sportsnationals, you guys are the best. Good luck Pat and Linda, thanks again.

U/SA the U/SA shootout was the best.

Congratulations, Pat. You have produced a great place to race and I'm sure it will continue to be a great facility. Dorothy and I were sorry we weren't able to make it out this year, but hope y'all will show up at Silver Dollar soon. We are in our eighteenth season and know that you will enjoy getting back to being free to attend more out-of-town events. We look forward to doing that, too.

MrPat, enjoy yourself, all i have ever heard from people who have been to npr is good things, we were at the cajun sportsnationals and had a great time take care my friend,,,,

Kenny Wigington · 03-24-2011, 02:43 PM

Its good to see things work out, for you and Linda. I just hope the new owners will make 1/2 the attempt to make every racer and crew feel good about going there, like you have ! Wont be right not to see you "scootin" around there !

Pat Joffrion · 03-24-2011, 04:51 PM

Kenny,

Maybe you missed my first post on this subject. Linda & I WILL be there for all of the NHRA and SPEED-TV events. My Honda Rebel has to keep rolling. I put 141 miles on it last week, and never left the track.

I'll be training one of the new owners on how to park racers next to thier friends, and how to make room for them to hold a buddy's spot.

I think I can get used to not having to work every week. Four events a year will stop the rust from building up on my brain.

C-Ya
