supported by our web server. The new viewer,
powered by SmugMug, is easier to navigate and should load
much faster.
Unfortunately, in the transfer
of photos, we have lost the captions, and will attempt to
get those reentered as time goes on.
If you have any questions,
please let us know.

Reminder
2010 Site Rental
Renewal Date Approaching
January 14, 2010
Rental renewal letters have
been mailed to all current site holders. The current
renters
will have until January 31, 2010 to respond, thereafter, we
will start working on our waitlist, to fill all available
sites. The rental rate
has not changed for 2010.
Water, sewer and 30 amp service is available on those sites
located next to the fence. The rental rate for 2010
will
remain at $425.00 for the year. We do have 4-5 sites
located beyond the scoreboards that are open at this time.
If you would like to be put on the waiting list, please let
the speedway office know. We will finalize the list
after the first of February.
For those awaiting
the addition of power to the first grass row, we are working
on that project, and should have details available after the
first of the year. It is our intent to have at least ten
sites available for rent for the 2010 season. These
sites will have 20 amp service available and will
not
have water or sewer access. Since this area is located
in the pit grass area, we will not allow any long term
parking or any
vehicles parked on
the sites between racing weekends. This will be
enforced, in order to allow for mowing and watering of the
areas.
The yearly rental
rate has not been determined, and we have a list of
potential renters on file. If you would like to be
added to that list, please
let the speedway office know.
