Wes does seem to have some aspirations to improve the track and build the fan base, I can't see the point of putting much effort into that if you plan on tearing it up in a couple years...doesn't make sense. Would be cool to see him buy the property next door and build motorsport park... ;D

Only caveat to that is putting effort in without putting in money - it makes him look like he cares but it really isn't costing him anything in the end.  Now if he were to have come in during the week after the deal was done and say replaced the grandstands, landscaped the place, god forbid resurfaced the track, something big - THEN it would seem like the place is going somewhere.  Right now it seems like status quo BUT with the addition of pissing off the staff and drivers.

I heard that rumour (again from the new SS guru Brain Watt's worldwide radio debut) about the next-door property.  Only problem is it is HUGE and costs like 5 million or thereabouts.  Noone is going to front that type of cash for a motorsports park these days.  For real estate development though, that's another story.  Again remember that sewers and water are now at the rec center so it is not out of line to think it could come a bit farther down the road.

I don't want to be negative, but things don't look good for Sunset or motorsports in general up this way.

And as for Wattie being race director...O M G.  Just O M G.  Don't see Robbie sticking around much longer if that is the case.

you know what would go a long way? wes coming up with some sort of plan he could convey to the drivers and teams....he was at the drivers meeting just to shoot down the development rumours and to announce that the 4funs would be running one heat backwards.  come up with 5 or 10 minutes worth of information for us to tell us at the meeting at some point...

whoever is on here that read the post about the possible development of sunset and told wes  (unless it went through a bunch of people) should do us a favor and ask him to address the following rumors/questions

modifieds coming?
4 cylinders running wed.?
a dirt track being built?
any plans for a new racing surface?
any plans for fixing the place up?
what can we look forward to that will be better than now? (a scored race lol)
what happened with the scoring sh*t show and what has been done to fix it?

what are the others lol there's gotta be more

who in their right mind would buy a house across from a speedway, not exactly relaxing summer nites on the patio.....

*raises hand*

;D

I get the feeling BSW is about to get very busy in the next year or two, come on up guys, we really aren't that bad. We are working on the quirks with the new owners, or maybe I'll get real lucky, win a really big lottery and built a brand new speedway, now thats a dream I can live with lol

So many rumours floating around who really knows...he does have some sort of financial relationship with a developer, I am sure neither one of them are stupid people....one doesn't just up and decide one morning to buy a speedway that is not actively for sale. I would think it will eventually go hand in hand with some sort of development plan. Glenn was getting a lot of flack from a couple of the roadside residents, one of them has been to the city on several occasions complaining about noise etc.. and told Glenn straight up he was going to do everything he could to get him shut down. I am sure he will be giving Wes some flack too. He may have to buy those up too...lol.

So I have heard another version of what is happening now........the deal has officially gone through, and this so called "developer" is only a sponsor at the track, the "money man" is some guy who has an accent and is only a mortgage holder??? As far as the peanut gallery out front of the speedway....always been like that, will never change, we had to deal with it every year and all we would say to them was why in the world would you buy a house on a major highway in front or a speedway if you dont like the noise? not once did they ever have a reply....its been like that since Alex Shakell severed the lots and started building and selling house out front, its never gonna change and its probably the same person that threatened to do whatever it took to close us down as well......as you can see, its a never ending battle! But as far as Wes goes, a good thing he knows how to do is put people in the stands.......and besides his last name, thats really the only good thing I can think of about him? But I still think something doesnt smell right about this whole deal......
