Jack-
I'm sure your donation will help alot! Thank you very much!
Our problem is actually a little different than the usual, but it's still all about money. The true push to pave over the track is being made by a huge corporation that owns half of the radio stations in the country. They seem to think that an amphitheater would be better that a race track. They have been after this for years, but the fair board always renewed the contract for the track every year. Well, this year, the "company" that wants the land donated large sums of money to our Governor's re-election campaign, and oddly enough, over the past several months, the Governor himself has appointed 6 new members to the 9 member fair board, something he has never done before. Now, for the first time, they are saying that they also don't think the track is a good idea anymore.
Well see what happens. We are really trying to get as many petitions signed as possible, and we don't care where they come from. The point is to show that there ia a large interest in motorsports, which the new board members seem to think is trivial.
In any case, thank you very much for your help, and good luck with efforts in your area!
Take care,
~Chris
