Hey, well I have always told people you never mess with racers and race fans. You piss them off and you do not know what will come at you. I got a report ealier that makes it sound good for the track but you never know.

I have a facebook group that is save sate fair speedway. If anyone wants to join I am more than welcoming you. We have over 300 people there so far and it keeps growing.

Yah, that'll do it!

Do you honestly believe that a "Facebook" page can influence the fair board? Kind of like message board posts that tried to save Manzanita Speedway.

While very noble in intent, it's gonna take much more than that to save any race track.......my feeling is that if fans had really supported the track in the past, with capacity attendance at almost all of the races, the fair board would have noticed....
