Maybe but most probably not. BIGDOG should know for sure. I would imagine that the news will be out soon. Looking forward to hearing who it is and thankful that it will remain an operating race track.

A guy who sells trophies and a guy who's family owned championship sprint & midgets have leased the track.

A riddle for all of you! :44:

Okay, I will go for half of the riddle. Is it Mel Botkin?

Mel Botkin. He is one heck of a guy, so I'm glad he got the track!

Not to hijack the thread, but did Danny Smith drive a winged sprinter for him about 20 years ago? The number was 00.

I am hoping all works out well here. Gas City is one of my favorites.

Danny Smith, drove the Ken Bodkins owned #00 back in the nineties, I believe.

Glad to hear this. Mel is a great guy. I heard they may be qualifying this year. Hopefully we can get the curb back at the track this year. What do you think.

Didn't Mel own the cars that John Wolfe drove?
