I just though you Guy's would be getting tired of checking this Board and not seeing anything like me, So I though I would dump a little fuel on the Fire...or rub a little salt in the woned anyhow have fun. Bud
Well here are some ways that racers are dealing with the problem in other States. : This is from another board.
seen this on PSCA website. Also everybody needs to go to FACEBOOK and join the group: "SAVE OUR DRAG STRIPS" Lets all help. Thumbs up Drag Racing Non Profit to Organize a New Track in Souther California
We had a general meeting today in Moreno Valley, CA with Bill Batey who is a City Councilman for Moreno Valley and an avid Drag Racer.
He has filed paperwork to establish a Non-Profit Group To purchase a piece of land in Riverside County to build a Premanent Drag Strip. Location has been found, and details of the purchase of the land are being negotiated. The Property is reportedly around 60 acres with enough length to run a 1/4 mile strip. The surrounding area is designated as Industrial Use Only. Location will be revealed when details of the purchase are completed, this is to protect us from losing the land.
The Group will be called Inland Empire Drag Racing Association They will run the facility as a non Profit, so Racing can be a tax deduction!!! All money's made will go to the facility to make it better.
Mr. Batey, Who is also currently campaigning to for California Assemblyman, has been talking with the city of Perris and Moreno Valley for gettin approval of this property to be used as a Racing Facility. Both Cities are on board to help us make this happen.
The group started organizing to get the following done: Complete the Non Profit Status General Plans Drawn up ( a local Engineer Racer is doing them) Establish a Web Site and Facebook page for updates on the Group and the facility Campaign to get donations for the Purchase of the land and for construction Appointed members to organize the finacials, Web Design and organize the construction porcess.
If you would like more information at this time Please Go To: Save our Drag Strips! on Facebook. A Website will be up, hopefully in the next 2 weeks for the group/track.
If you would like to Join the group or Donate you can also Get a hold of Bill Batey on Facebook: Batey Racing
All Racers, Jr Racers and Business's are welcome to help.
If you know contractors or Business that would like to donate time, money, Products please get ahold of Bill Batey: Bateyracing@gmail.com

Later Post : I went to a PERRIS DRAGWAY meeting at BILL BATEY`s office thur. nite. They talked about the land they are putting in a bid on, and about they have enough land to build a 1000' track with 1500 feet for shut down. The city of PERRIS is behind them and will speed up the environmental studies and get this done. They hope to have it up and running by NEW YEARS day. They need help from us racers, in any way you can. The website will be up soon, so keep checking www.perrisdragway.com

Story that I hear is that since Dave Hemsath pulled the property out of the partnership the banks wont give them the time of day. They just don't have the collateral to get this deal done. The boys just need to face the facts and pull the plug on this whole deal and quit trying to get everyone else to build it for them. I mean how many times can you cry wolf before it gets to where no one listens anymore. Ronnie, Steve I think we are at that point. People have grown tired of you all trying to come up with fund raising ideas that puts most if not all of the burden of financing this deal on the racers backs. The economy still sucks and you guys gave it a valiant try it just wasn't meant to be. We haven't seen anything positive posted on here as far as progress in years, the last positive thing was the ground breaking ceremony and there hasn't been anything as far as forward progress since that day.
Thanks for trying but I think the new MARP is officialy dead.
