    Sad if you ask me, I’ll reserve further personal comment until I see how this all unfolds and impacts our racing for 2015…

  2. Paul Young says:

    Very sad indeed and totally unacceptable on his part!

    After reading Susan Wade’s article, it appears that the NHRA and others were aware of the pending sale. Yet, as usual, the local racers and fans that have supported the track for many years are the last to know! Frankly the entire matter seems strange to me, putting property up for sale with no asking price?

    Perhaps the “family finances” explains why no advertising, no fliers at the races, decreasing portable toilets, locked restroom facilities in the bowl area, fewer PA speakers throughout the facility, etc. That being said the dragstrip crew has done an outstanding job the past two years preparing and maintaining the track on hot days.

    Jason speaks of the facility losing money but what about all the gravel removed for SeaTac’s third runway? What about all the promises made to the racers and community about a new dragstrip, commercial development, garage facilities? Or was that simply a ruse to acquire the permits, harvest the gravel and put the property up for sale? Questions remain for this racer!
