Sad news to hear, looks like the track is getting left empty again. Just after it was starting to make improvements in sponsorship and presentation to us fans. I can't answer for the drivers as I've never been racing on the track but it sure was looking good in the past few seasons. Sure hope someone steps up and does the track right cause it deserves it.
What a joke that this track has been since about December. Why did they keep making the BS promises constantly. They knew it wasn't happening, it was so obvious. I guess Santucci was hoping for some miracle to happen so he could pull it off. Instead he screwed over ARCA, the teams and fans, very selfish. Maybe if he would've let ARCA know they could have rescheduled it, maybe even help out another Canadian track. It is exactly 1 month from today til when the Cayuga race was scheduled. It is a good thing for NASCAR that they had this guy figured out before they released the Canadian Tire Series schedule. What a jerk.
This is the time Delaware should get their Chit together and jump in. I know sponsors are an issue but I'm sure somebody would step in. It could be possible? Freedom of Canadian speech LoL
Although it sucks about how things transpired, we should never slam anybody for trying to keep a Canadian race track from turning into a subdivision (racers from Windsor know how hard it is to get a new track to race at when the old one meets a bulldozer). The fact that it's still standing after the last couple of years is a plus and lets all hope somebody has the resources to keep it a race track instead of a ghost track. Perhaps the racing gods will smile down on Cayuga as they have appeared to smile down on Sunset.......
I too am somewhat depressed by the cancellation as I was looking forward to it. I personally would like to thank Jerry and his group for the two good seasons in 2007 and 2008 that they put together. Even with the many struggles they had there were at least 5 good events in those seasons and reallly drove me to mark them on the calendar and when and if competition resumes I will be back. This is a tough economy and moreover a tough business to promote big time auto racing when the series name is not Nascar Nextel Cup. They are very few tracks in the US that are succussful at filling seats in non Nextel Cup events and some have cancelled events this year. A track in the business of running specials needs deep pockets to both float and cash flow big time events and moreover deeper pockets to keep up with both the maintenance & and capital improvements that fans seem to demand.
We will keep our fingers crossed that big news is just around the corner.....
