      I wasn't going to say a word until this situation was in stone. After reading the start of this thread, I HAD to say something, before it turned into 'Hey everyone that just heard it is closed, they were wrong, it is OPEN for sure....but, um, not like last year where 'for sure' ended up being 'not for sure', then 'not at all''....I hope you can understand that as long as a certain individual has certain 'rights', we cannot speak on it. Once the 'rights' are gone, this isn't a secret society.

      The track owners have spoke with us, the track owners have said there is a chance they will have the track for 2010, and if they do, they want Street Legal days. Until I hear that they have the track 100%, I won't announce more info. It isn't a high school game, and if this thread wasn't created (not Matt's fault, someone tried to sabotage the IDR 2010 races), nobody would be the wiser.

      I expect there to be Street Legals days, and am 95% certain there will be some....just be patient until the 'facts' are 100%....

            I hope they do the streetlegals again! I cant believe people get crazy because they cant have the info like.........NOW!!! Relax and just wait it out guys. Its really not that big of a deal. When rumors are verified im sure everyone will be told the details.

            Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
            Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
            Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
            Torque is how far you take the wall with you

              Like I said, I hate being wrong about my info. But, to rest your wee lil heads. One of Gregs employees <u>was</u> my youngest kids
              gf and I happened to talk to her a few days ago while having her car in for repairs and she filled the blanks in for me and thats where I got my info. So thats how Id be "In the loop" Will. And Bill, it's not a bitch move if you dont know for sure whats happening. Do you say shit abouty someone if you dont know if it's true? I would hope not. Regardless of how I feel about the situation, it's what I <u>know</u> (or dont) in this situation. I'll bE HAPPY TO TALK TO Anyone face to face on the subject and say what I THINK is going to happen. I just wont broadcast it on here.

              I dont get off holding info over anyone's heads Chris. It's knowledge anyone can find out if they do some questioning. I just happen to know a few people directly affected by it.

                I think the track was purchased by aliens, and they are interested in Matt's Probe.

                    Probezilla has been abducted by the aliens. Thats why Matt had to get the new mustang.

                      And I thought Aliens had probed Matt, because that would explain a lot of things.

                            Pretty poor promotion on the business end of the track to leave all their potential customers confused and in the dark....

                              Come on Nick, of all people you should know what it takes when making changes to a business. Deals don't always work out the way you want and you'd probably lose more customers if you told people something and couldn't commit than waiting for until you can confirm a business deal.

                                When their "off season" is 7 months they said have MORE then enough time to work out the details. Now we're talking what 30-45 days before season start and "issues" all the sudden arise and there may or may not be racing this year, thats just piss poor managment there.

                                  My sources have told me this just arose lately, not at the end of the '09 season. That's what I'm going by, maybe that's inaccurate. A lot had to do with one of the plans for Minnesota flood diversion as it was to run between their property and the family land just to the west of the track.

                                    My sources have told me this just arose lately, not at the end of the '09 season. That's what I'm going by, maybe that's inaccurate. A lot had to do with one of the plans for Minnesota flood diversion as it was to run between their property and the family land just to the west of the track.

                                    That kinda stuff seems to have been the story and excuses for years. First the major highway coming threw the property now a flood diversion, blah blah blah.

                                    Point in point if they dont hold events they dont make $$ and its crazy they have yet to still figure this out, when the prelim 2010 schedule was up i believe there was only roughly 10 weekends. End all be all their just lucky its the only dragstrip w/in 200 miles or they'd be long under by now. Year after year its some new issue/problem, someone needs to get their head out of their ass and get the organization together and running smoothly before its to late.

                                      Why don't you step up and purchase the track, Nick?

                                        Ha, it clearly isnt profitable hence all the issues. That and this town does not support any activities other then college sports, hence why the circle track, drag strip, horsepark, fargo force, etc are all having financial issues. They just dont draw the crowd to support the overhead.

                                          I blame the Horse Track failing because of the tiny beers they sell.
