I agree that Mel stepped up to take on a very difficult task and I too am thankful, but the way you worded it.....does it mean that his trying has failed? I sure hope not.

Did Gas City race Midgets last night? How did the race turn out?

Car counts were ok last night. But if you look into the grandstands you'd think a bomb went off. Couple hundred people? Goes back to support your local race track, so many dont show up but want to know whats going on via internet. The way it s going at gas city you wont have to check for internet updates too much longer.

Mel got hurt by the weather last night. The storms at times were literally close enough that you could see it raining hard a mile away. I wasnt too confident that I would see a feature but it only sprinkled and we got lucky. I drove from Indy and took the chance but maybe there arent as many that are as crazy as I am Either way it was a hell of a race and those that decided not to go missed a good one.

From what we were told when Mel closed the gate his family left with him not to come back.

We will see what happens from here

Guess he feels like most of us out there right now>>>> just too many lemons and not enough people who can afford lemonade.

If I owned the track I would be approaching him with a killer rental deal just to keep the place open, I don't see a big factory sprouting up there in the next few years.
