Heat winners were Levi, Weir, Hagen,and Putterbaugh.

DD ended up 3rd in his heat.

Also Jiggs came over the PA and did state: This is my last season and the track is for sale.

Also there in the 2 heat for the mods so it will be a while!!!

Thanks to MR. Hoover for the updates!!!

Any idea why he wants to sell?
I can't ever attend in person but from their schedule and what I read on here they have an AWESOME program.
I have seen the track a few years back and it is an awesome facility.
I would love to run it or own it but probably couldn't come up with that kind of money.

I know that a few years back Jiggs had some pretty serious health issues. I also don't think he is getting any younger. No disrepect intended just stating a fact. It would be a BIG job owning or running a racetrack. I bet many of us have no clue what really does go into all of it to put on a show weekly.

Maybe some posters will buy or lease it and show the world what they know about running a track. I see a lot of posts with people talking like they know how to do it.
