Wonder if the sponsors Arnie had go with the deal .

Or will the new guy have to start from scratch ?

In any event hope something happens soon.

Paving ?  gezz  I've been around the place almost 40 years.

Every time a new guy takes over there paving the place might be true this time around since Drummonds would have the equipment for paving.

Ran into a guy who sells cars to Arnie and has a drag car he runs at Luskville and didn't think to ask him what was going on.

The last message posted before the CC site went down left me wondering too .

Kinda got a mixed message from reading it and the circumstances why Arnie left.

may be old news but thought I'd post. Heard the new promoter is a legend car guy named Jeremy. Frank Johnston is selling off all his Legends stuff. Kenyon racing is closing up shop.
Heard that apparently enough drivers convinced Drummond's not to renew Arnie's contract. He would have renewed. I am sure there are many sides to this story.

Also heard Jeremy Cloutier (sp) was taking over the track and there may be interest in getting the drag strip going again.

Didn't hear about Kenyons closing they produced some nice race cars over the years. guess it's a case of supply and demand these days.

Not to many people are building or buying race cars .

The sport needs the rules to be enforced so racing is more affordable .

Case in point the crate engines for Late models it was to lower cost but apparently some guys are spending 7,000. "refreshing" on top of the cost of the crate engine.

So were back to $12 ,000 - 14,000 engines . Figure in the cost of a chassis and you have $30,000  car racing for 600.00 to win. Unless your wealthy or have big sponsors you can't afford racing without going broke.

Same with tires if the rule allows two new tires a night enforce it ...Don't let the big buck teams slap on four tires and do nothing about it.

Just my two cents worth.

Better get off my soap box. (lol)
