speed demon 7 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Guys, don't feel sorry for me, I just want everyone to remember what can and has happened. I am NOT the only person who has been SCREWED or DUPED? Feel sorry for the racers and fans in Corpus, they are the ones who are suffering. I am able to continue racing. I race with a great bunch of racers, I race at an awsome facility owned by an awsome owner who has been very helpful in doing what I have done this year. I will race on, and I believe that CC Speedway will reopen again. I do believe that the silence from the OWNERS has buried any chance to re open under their ownership. Who knows, maybe they will change everyones minds, but the longer they wait, the less likely people will trust their intentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur, I like many others am in your corner, but I do disagree on the silence of the owners part. If they had asked for my advice and they didn't, I would have suggested that the talk less and do more. All the promises in the world will do no good if they are not followed through on, whether it's intentional or accidental and unpreventable. They don't need to announce that they are sending checks that will clear. They can just send them and the racers will see to it that everyone knows about it. And I just read where they are apparently throwing in the towel. They could still make a comeback, but they would have to mend those fences first. Hopefully they will.

speed demon 7 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 By silence, I meant in terms of opening the track and the schedule. Paying the drivers part should be silent, until after they are paid. But as for letting the drivers know what is going on with the track, they should be very vocal, its called advertising, without it, no one knows what is going on. Nick, do you know something everyone else doesn't know??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is "owners" the Yocums of Walton? In that particular case, I was referring to the Waltons. By silence, I meant in terms of opening the track and the schedule. Paying the drivers part should be silent, until after they are paid. But as for letting the drivers know what is going on with the track, they should be very vocal, its called advertising, without it, no one knows what is going on. Nick, do you know something everyone else doesn't know??? I see your point, but now in hindsight, the silence in my opinion was still the better option. The advertising should only be done when they were sure they would be able to pull it off and evidently that wasn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 ...Nick, do you know something everyone else doesn't know??? I wish I did, but I don't. All I know is that Carol Yocum announced this morning that Shelma had cancelled the contract to purchase CC Speedway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per Carol’s post today the Yocums do once again own the track. It would be great to be able to hire Rick and Debbie to run the track but I can tell you from personnel observation the finances prohibit that from happening. Even though CC Speedway has made money in the past this season has not worked out on many fronts. I also am glad Shelma has agreed to drop her contract but I also feel bad for the Yocums as I know how happy they were when they signed the deal to sell and know how much they wanted to retire. Even though this racing season did not end well I hope and pray that it all works out so the track we all love can once again be up and racing next season. i wonder if smokin alley is still going to open? From what I have observed I would not hold my breath on that deal happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
