Well it took them a while to get here but I think they just hired the one guy that actually might could turn this shipwreck around. Instant legitimacy in my opinion, Rich is a great guy who brings alot of promotion knowledge and a great reputation.

Speaking of short shutdown areas- Kil-Kare (I witnessed the original shoebox cars attempt to run on this track), how would the response be to run 1,000' for class cars to avoid having to run 1/8th mi?

Are we headed that way eventually?

Hey! I resemble that remark! Jim

That would actually be a good move since the only ones their competing against are themselves.

Guess it wasn't just a rumor.

They did NOT buy the WDRA

Partnership, acquisition, buy out, I don't think it really matters. In practice, they will essentially become the same governing body over the next little while. Whatever they choose to call it, idc. As long as they can bring sportsman racing back and bracket programs improve, I couldn't care less how it happens.
