Give Mel some time to get his ducks in a row.

If Mel doesn't agree to take over as the promoter Gas City would have been closed this year.

Mel took over just a few weeks ago and here is what he faced:

Finding & hiring folks to do the track preparation
Finding & hiring someone to run the food service
Finding & hiring announcers
Finding & hiring race night competition directors for each weekly class
Updating the website
Putting together the rest of the race schedule (most was already in place)

So please give him more time to finalize things I'm sure Mel will give everybody (race teams, drivers, fans, etc.) an enjoyable place to have fun on Friday evenings in 2014.
