Re: Fair Board Unamimously Votes Not To Sell Fairgrounds
 

What a tremendous difference 8 months can make. After the one and only race (fiasco!:headbang) that the Action Track hosted last year under the DA administration. Then the news that the historic facility is back it certainly great news. Thanks to all the fairboard members for looking into the future and seeing great things for THAT.:applaud:

That is great news! What is ironic about the fiasco that was held last year is that it had one of the biggest crowds I had seen in years.

Ron,

Exactly. In fact, I happened to be sitting next to a young couple who brought their pre-school aged son to the race. He was excited about being at his first race and I was able to catch a t-shirt that they were throwing up into the crowd. I gave it to him and he kept telling his mother that this was such a great day. Little did we know how "horrible" the experience would be. They left around 10:00 PM just about the time the heat races were going on. I doubt that they will be back to a race anytime in the near future.

I just hope that the "bad taste" is still not in those peoples minds.:icon_smile_blackeye

The only thing left for the track is to get the fans to come! I have waited just shy of a year for something to happen and now it has. The sale of the fairgrounds is not a dead issue but racing in '08 is a fact .... Get the word out and get the fans back to the Action Track. Just a side thought ... If someone would carry the proposal, How about declaring the Action Track a historic landmark? Then the money hungry developers CAN'T tear it down! :checkered:

Race and the fans will come!:thumb
