Fellors, It seems that the track might not be opened on April 2. I will check on this issue and keep everybody informed.

Track opening may be delayed Posted Monday, March 14, 2005 12:11 PM by nednews
It's that time of year when our phones are ringing off the hook and everyone
has a one question, "When are you going to open?"

What's the standard answer? It's "We don't know." We started several substantial projects including new burnout pads and a major drainage and resurfacing project at the end of our 2004 season. Fortunately, the weather was in our favor and we did complete the new burnout pads. However, the drainage and resurfacing project entailed a lot more work. Even though we finished most of the site work there is still considerable preparation remaining. Because of the persistent period of snow and extremely cold weather since the beginning of the year it's likely that we will not be able to complete the project before opening day. The snow must be clear and ground warm enough for us to accomplish the site work necessary before laying down the new asphalt.

We'll keep posting periodic updates here to keep you informed. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
